Sabres Ride Offensive Surge into Clash with Panthers
The Buffalo Sabres are hoping they have found their stride after a decisive 8-4 win over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday. Now, they set their sights on the Florida Panthers in the first of four meetings between the Atlantic Division rivals.
The Sabres' offensive explosion came at a crucial time, as they look to build on their first victory of the season. "The more of our guys we can get back on the lineup, the better we'll be," said Sabres head coach Don Granato. Several key players, including forwards Jack Quinn, Jason Zucker, and Justin Danforth, are expected to return to the lineup soon, providing a much-needed boost.
