As the Buffalo Sabres get set to embark on a new season, head coach Ralph Krueger announced today that recent UFA signing, Marcus Johansson, and defenseman, Jake McCabe will serve behind Jack Eichel as alternate captains in 2019-20.
Last season, Zach Bogosian and Kyle Okposo wore the “A’s”, but with a new coach, comes a new set of secondary leadership. Both players have past experience in this arena on their respective resumes.
In 2018-19, Johansson spent time as an alternate with the New Jersey Devils before being traded to the Boston Bruins at the trade deadline.
