6 wins and 6 losses are not necessarily a start for a President’s Trophy winner, but for the Buffalo Sabres there are not many complaints about the first month of the season.
The Sabres have only 4 regulation losses and are currently positioned in the 2nd wild card spot and in 5th place in the highly competitive Atlantic Division.
The 6 wins in October are equal to the total October wins the last 2 seasons and the most wins since the 2011-12 season (the closest the club has been to making the playoffs in the last 8 seasons).
