After an underwhelming West Coast trip, the Buffalo Sabres have returned home and now sit on a three-game winning streak. Lest you start thinking more of it than you should, the Sabres remain anchored to the bottom of the Atlantic Division and you should stop table-watching.
A big talking point from yesterday’s win over the Devils was Stefan Noesen’s big hit on Tage Thompson that saw him leave the game, with not a single Sabres on or off the ice doing a thing about it. Clearly Buffalo has learned nothing in the last two decades.
