The Buffalo Sabres last won a game in mid-December and even though they’ve not been blown off the ice, they’ve struggled to get a win in that time. Of course, they’ve also had a handful of games postponed too as COVID cases continue to grow throughout the NHL as they are across the world.
The coming week — if the games do proceed — do not offer much respite as the Sabres host the Stanley Cup Champions Lightning and then are on the road at the Predators then the Red Wings.
Buffalo are 10-18-6 on the season and still sixth in the Atlantic Division.
