What to Watch
1. Kraft Hockeyville
The Sabres and Blue Jackets will play in the annual Kraft Hockeyville game tonight in Clinton, NY. These games are always fun to watch in smaller arena’s where fans get up and close with the game action.
2. Sabres bringing big names
The Sabres roster will feature some big names with Jack Eichel, Jeff Skinner, Sam Reinhart, Rasmus Dahlin and Casey Mittelstadt all expected to dress tonight. We’ll see if they can bounce back from two defeats over the weekend.
It’s @HockeyvilleUSA Day! 🇺🇸
