The Buffalo Sabres were stricken with a bit of an offensive blow when Tyler Ennis went down with an injury. They were in need of a player that could step up and take over his role, or at least cover his spot in the lineup well enough that it wouldn’t seem like he was missing. There has been one player in particular that has done just that. Jamie McGinn has stepped up into the top six recently, and he has not disappointed.
Jamie McGinn was one of the secondary players that were acquired in the Ryan O’Reilly trade over the summer.
