BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres paid tribute to Bills safety Damar Hamlin with a moment of celebration before Saturday night's 6-5 overtime win over the Minnesota Wild.
Hamlin is on the long road to recovery after he went into cardiac arrest and needed to be resuscitated on the field in Cincinnati on Monday night. He is now breathing on his own and briefly addressed the Bills team by video on Friday.
The Sabres and Bills are both owned by Terry and Kim Pegula, and the teams' players have developed a bond and friendships for one another through that connection.
