BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Milan Lucic got five stitches -- and the last word. The Buffalo crowd cheered when Lucic was struck in the face with a puck late in the first period of Bostons 5-2 victory over the reeling Sabres on Wednesday night. The rugged left wing left the ice for repairs, then responded by scoring 40 seconds into the second period. "When you get hit in the face like that, its never a good feeling," said Lucic, who had two goals and an assist. "Its nice to get one when the crowds cheering when you get hit in the face. Its nice to stick it to them that way." Torey Krug also scored twice, and Dougie Hamilton added his second goal of the season. The Bruins are 6-2 overall and have won their first four road games for the first time since 2010. Nikita Zadorov and Cody Hodgson scored for Buffalo. At 1-9-1, the Sabres are off to their worst start in franchise history. They are winless in their first seven home games in a skid that continues to raise questions of how much more patience owner Terry Pegula has in the teams rebuilding plan. General manager Darcy Regier and coach Ron Rolston find themselves on the hot seat as the team prepares for a two-game swing through Florida. By the time Krug netted the second of his two third-period goals, the fans launched into what have become regular "Fire Darcy! Fire Darcy!" chants in reference to Regier. As for Rolston, hes 16-20-6 since taking over in February after Lindy Ruff was fired. Coincidently, Ruff is now coaching the Dallas Stars, and will be making his return to Buffalo on Monday night. It was another hit to the head that earned the ire of the Bruins as Boston left wing Loui Eriksson had to be helped from the ice after being blindsided by a late hit from Sabres enforcer John Scott in the third period. Eriksson was skating through the neutral zone and had dumped the puck into the Sabres end. Thats when Scott skated in from Erikssons right and levelled him with a shoulder to the face. Eriksson was dazed and had to be helped off the ice and did not return. Following the game, general manager Peter Chiarelli announced Eriksson was staying behind in Buffalo for precautionary reasons and expected to return to Boston on Thursday. Scott was ejected, and is expected to face a disciplinary hearing with the NHL. Bruins coach Claude Julien was unhappy with the hit, and was spotted yelling in the direction of the Sabres bench. "Hes out there for two reasons and thats either to fight or hurt," Julien said about Scott. "So he did his job tonight." The Bruins responded with Krug scoring on the ensuing power play. "We were starting to come around," said Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, who made 29 saves. "We got some life off those goals in the second period. For the most part we cleaned some stuff up. Our transition to defence cost us two but other than that were in a hockey game." Chad Johnson made 14 saves for Boston to earn the win. Boston opened the scoring when Jarome Iginlas wrist shot deflected off Lucic and through Millers legs. The Bruins doubled their lead 40 seconds into the second on Lucics team-leading fifth goal. Iginla fired a pass from the right boards to Lucic and he tapped the puck in before crashing into the boards behind Miller. Buffalos first goal came from its struggling power play, which improved to 4 for 38 when Cody Hodgson scored 8:21 into the second period. The Sabres only managed two shots in the third period and were outshot 34-16 overall. "Theyve got a strong team from their D all the way up to their forwards and we didnt match them," Sabres co-captain Steve Ott said. Zadorovs first NHL goal, in just his second NHL game, brought the Sabres within one with 4:50 to play in the second period. Zadorov moved on his backhand around Bruins centre before beating Johnson to the left side. "It feels good for my first NHL goal, first pro goal of my life," Zadorov said. "Im really happy now." Zadorov is the second-youngest player to score a goal for the Sabres, at 18 years, 190 days. Pierre Turgeon was 18 years, 54 days when he scored for Buffalo in 1987. NOTES: First-round pick Rasmus Ristolainen was among Buffalos scratches, as was Patrick Kaleta who served the sixth game of his 10-game suspension. ... Boston returns home for two games in three nights, beginning with San Jose on Thursday. ... Hodgson has been the Sabres most productive player with a point in seven of his past nine games (three goals, five assists).

The team said Wednesday night that an X-ray revealed the injury. Warriors coach Mark Jackson and Bogut both said hes out indefinitely and gave no timetable for his return. Speaking in a sombre tone in his corner of the locker room, though, Bogut said he has done enough research and spoken to enough doctors that he will not come back until the rib heals. "Ive got to be careful, because if it cracks Im looking at a punctured lung. Youll see me in the hospital with a tube coming out of me," Bogut said. "Its one of those things people have played through, but this is too close to comfort for me." Bogut said he first felt the injury when Denvers Kenneth Faried elbowed him in a loss to the Nuggets last Thursday. The symptoms continued against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, he said, and he took a pain-killing injection before playing at Portland on Sunday night. Bogut left the overtime loss to the Trail Blazers in the fourth quarter after getting sandwiched by two players. He said he cant take deep breaths and is pain anytime he coughs or sneezes — let alone tries to run. "It definitely wasnt as bad until I fully ccracked it," Bogut said.dddddddddddd "I thought I was winded for a second, but it wasnt going away. I ended up going back in the game for the last possession (of regulation). I dont know how." Backup centre Jermaine ONeal was starting in Boguts place Monday night against Minnesota. Jackson also said he also could slide power forward David Lee to centre if needed depending on the matchup in the playoffs. Last years backup centre, Festus Ezeli, has been out all season recovering from right knee surgery and remains day to day. Jackson also indicated that reserve centres Hilton Armstrong and Ognjez Kuzmic are likely not options. "It certainly does not make us a better basketball team," Jackson said of Boguts absence. Golden States centre is hardly the only one ailing at the worst time of the season. Starting small forward Andre Iguodala sat out Monday night with right knee tendinitis that he has said is something he will have to deal with for the rest of the season. Lee is playing with a nerve injury in his right hamstring/back right and ONeal has been coping with pain in his wrist and knees. Harrison Barnes started for Iguodala against the Timberwolves. The Warriors visit Denver in their regular-season finale Wednesday night before the playoffs begin Saturday or Sunday. ' ' '
