Buffalo Sabres fans, you now have one more reason to watch the 2016 World Cup of Hockey when it begins on Saturday, September 17.
Yesterday, Team Canada announced that it would be adding the Sabres very own Ryan O’Reilly to its roster for the WCH. The Factor will replace Tyler Seguin, who was injured during pre-tournament play and will be heading to Dallas in time for training camp.
