Thursday was a happy homecoming for Sabres forward Jack Quinn, whose pair of early goals led Buffalo to a 4-0 shutout of the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre. Quinn, an Ottawa native, had plenty of guests in attendance to watch him give the Sabres a 2-0 lead in the first period.

He has been one of the Sabres' best players, posting 15 goals, 31 points, and a plus-2 rating in 41 games. He also become a leader in their room, which naturally adds to his value.

Jack Quinn scored twice in his hometown and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 35 saves as the Sabres beat the Senators, 4-0.

Another major reason whe Sabres should consider extending Zucker is his high level of experience. The Sabres need veterans who can help mentor their younger players as they look to take that next step, and the 5-foot-11 forward fits that description.
