Linus Ullmark knows he has improvements to make in order to succeed in the NHL. He’s not alone.
Once again, the Buffalo Sabres played just good enough to lose Saturday night. Their latest setback, a 4-3 loss to New Jersey, dropped their record to 2-6. Despite obvious progress from the previous two seasons, the Sabres keep adding numbers to their loss column.
“It seems like we’re right there,” center Jack Eichel said, “but at the end of the day, right there’s not enough.”
Ullmark, who stopped 24 of 28 shots in his NHL debut in the Sabres’ crease, had a similar feeling in First Niagara Center.
