The Buffalo Sabres entered the month of December tied for first place overall in the NHL. Who would’ve thought a year ago that the Sabres would be in that position right now?
After playing 15 games in 30 days in the month of November, the Sabres face a slightly lighter workload in December, with 13 games in the month. But it won’t be easy; the month includes three sets of back-to-back games and some matchups against tough opponents. And yes, the Sabres have won 10 of their last 12 games, but they’re on a two-game losing streak entering the month, and they’ve got to quickly snap out of that.
