The Sabres opened their 2016 preseason with 59 minutes of solid play that ended up being all for naught thanks to the final 30 seconds. It was a bummer of an ending, but there were some good signs along the way that will hopefully show the improvement that we all want this team to make in the upcoming season.
With 32 seconds left, an Evander Kane penalty left the Sabres a man short, and they paid the price with 4.6 seconds left, as Jason Zucker put the game winner past Anders Nilsson.
Despite the sour taste thanks to the late loss, there was actually plenty to be pleased with in this game.
