Kalinin at home in Russia
Dmitri Kalinin, the longtime Sabres defenseman, seems to have found his niche in his Russian homeland. The defenseman, who now goes by "Dmitry," has been named the Kontinental Hockey League Defenseman of the Month for October.
Kalinin had seven goals, three assists and was plus-10 in 12 games for Salavat Yulaev Ufa. That month topped many of his seasons in Buffalo.
