The Buffalo Sabres may be 2-1 in preseason play so far, but it’s a simple fact: this team could easily be 3-0.
For whatever reason, the Sabres are making a living by treating their fans to one-goal hockey games, a nerve-wracking trend that carries over from last season. Will it continue tonight when the Sabres host last night’s victims, the Toronto Maple Leafs, in the KeyBank Center?
Gosh, I sure hope so!
Here’s the projected lineup for your Buffalo Sabres:
44 Nicolas Deslauriers – 23 Sam Reinhart – 73 Nicholas Baptiste
56 Justin Bailey – 27 Derek Grant – 12 Brian Gionta
26 Matt Moulson – 28 Zemgus Girgensons – 63 Tyler Ennis
71 Evan Rodrigues – 72 Jean Dupuy – 10 Cole Schneider
Defense: 77 Dmitry Kulikov, 34 Casey Nelson, 29 Jake McCabe, 81 Mac Bennett, 67 Brady Austin, 41 Justin Falk
Power play
First Unit: Reinhart, Gionta, Moulson, Ennis, Nelson
Second Unit: Baptiste, Girgensons, Kulikov, McCabe, Schneider
Time for the picks!
