The Sabres split their four-game West Coast jaunt with two wins and two defeats, and while that doesn’t officially eliminate them from playoff contention, it does squeeze that door even closer to completely shut.
This week and the next though will likely prove definitive, with four of their next six games coming against wildcard contenders sitting ahead of Buffalo, and the first five of those all at home.
WED: Buffalo Sabres (34-33-5) vs Ottawa Senators (30-36-4)
FRI: Buffalo Sabres vs New Jersey Devils (35-33-4)
SAT: Buffalo Sabres vs Toronto Maple Leafs (40-21-9)
Here’s the Amerks schedule as well for the upcoming week –
WED: Rochester Americans (31-22-6-3) at Syracuse Crunch (36-20-4-2)
SUN: Rochester Americans at Cleveland Monsters (35-21-3-3)
Use this open thread over the course of the week to discuss anything & everything hockey, Sabres, Amerks, etc.
