Sabres Need Key Forward To Break The Ice Big Time
The Buffalo Sabres' start to the season has not been ideal. This is because they are sixth in the Atlantic Division with an 8-7-4 record and have lost each of their last three games.
With this, the Sabres need to heat back up to climb up the standings.
The Sabres have had some players who have had cold starts to the season. Among them is forward Ryan McLeod, as he has been struggling to get going offensively.
In 17 games so far this season with the Sabres, McLeod has recorded one goal and four points. When noting that the 27-year-old recorded 53 points in 2024-25 and a career-high 54 points in 2025-26, there is no question that he is having a tough start to this campaign.
