Going in to tonight’s game, the biggest worry on the mind of all Sabres fans was the fact that their defense, which has been the Achilles Heel of this team all season, had suffered yet another injury and would be without their second-best defenseman in Jake McCabe. How would this ragtag, AHL group of blueliners keep up with the top team in the Atlantic Division?
Responding with two goals, including the game winner, was something I don’t think any of us expected.
Cody Franson scored the tying goal, and Zach Bogosian scored the hero goal in overtime as the Sabres won their second game in two nights that went into extra time.
