The Buffalo Sabres have had quite a few days to rest and retool things following their road trip through Western Canada.
The team managed to earn 3 out of the 6 points that were up for grabs in its games against Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver, but the guys have to feel like they let the game against the Flames slip away, as they blew three separate one-goal leads.
Buffalo’s first game after its mid-October hiatus is on the road against a Philadelphia Flyers team that has struggled to start the season. With a record of 2-3-1, one of last year’s biggest surprises has come out a bit flat.
