| Do the Buffalo Sabres have a GOAL SCORING PROBLEM? | 09 Nov 2026 | 00:32:55 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have had a very inconsistent season scoring goals so far, with the likes of Josh Doan, Jiri Kulich, Konsta Helenius, Jason Zucker, and Josh Norris all falling short of expectation despite being here to score. Jack Quinn is doing it, but will any other Sabres join him in stepping up to replace Alex Tuch? The Columbus game looked like a step forward in that direction, but the Vegas game on Sunday afternoon was a step back. Plus, three critical mistakes by Tage Thompson and Owen Power costs the Sabres against the Golden Knights. An uncharacteristic night for Power, but a mistake Tage has made a trend in recent years. Alone at the top of the point turns into a turnover and often a breakaway. Also, an insane Connor Hellebuyck story in New Jersey, as he will not be playing in his return to Winnipeg and the reasons are insane. What would we be saying if he did this on the Sabres?

| Is Jarmo Kekäläinen HUNTING for a trade with his old friends in Columbus for the Buffalo Sabres? | 06 Nov 2026 | 00:29:27 | |
The Blue Jackets are in town to face the Sabres on Friday night, and Jarmo Kekäläinen has been on the sheet at other Columbus games scouting his old team. Is he looking to swing a trade for one of his guys??? There's the less likely giant idea of trading for Zach Werenski (very unlikely) and there's the much more realistic idea of acquiring winger Dmitri Voronkov. He has found himself in the doghouse, was drafted by Jarmo, and has averaged 19 goals in his three seasons in the NHL. Plus, Ryan McLeod finds himself in the press box as a healthy scratch, which is well deserved for his play this season. Will Josh Norris be next if he doesn't perform? Kulich on his line doesn't inspire a lot of confidence. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Josh Norris + Ryan McLeod have been a DISASTER for the Buffalo Sabres this season | 05 Nov 2026 | 00:36:13 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have a few veteran forwards that are totally dropping the ball this season. Both Josh Norris and Ryan McLeod continue to struggle and last night in the loss to Ottawa, McLeod was at fault for the game's tying goal, and the line got benched in the final minutes in favor of the fourth line. You can include Josh Doan as another vet that is really letting the team down, but it's especially bad with Norris and McLeod. Norris is invisible in most games and the buyout conversation should probably be starting for after this season. McLeod is not only not producing offensively, but is making huge defensive mistakes all the time. Which of the two is more likely to get going? Plus, Colten Ellis' performance again makes the case that he should be in the goalie rotation, even when Alex Lyon comes back, setting up another opportunity for Sneaky Joe's 'Make-It-Take-It' goalie strategy with the trio. And why losing games in the Atlantic Division are going to be so critical by the end of the season in the standings. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres HOMETOWN REMIX creator Eric Bodamer matching look with 'City of Light' history | 04 Nov 2026 | 00:39:33 | |
The Buffalo Sabres unveiled their new Hometown Remix uniforms on Monday, which they will be wearing for the first time on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators. Eric Bodamer, now formerly of Fanatics and Adidas, joins Sneaky Joe on his "swan song" uniform design, inspired by the City of Light history of Buffalo. Several elements of the uniform look to the history of the city, from fonts that match Tesla's boiler plates from Niagara Falls over 100 years ago, to the gold color that matches the gold dome downtown, to a lightning bolt going through the shoulder patch. Eric breaks down why each choice was made on the jersey, what other ideas were considered, and gets into a bunch of other juicy uniform nuggets. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres SWEEP West Coast trip to stay in the fight in the Atlantic Division | 02 Nov 2026 | 00:27:53 | |
The Buffalo Sabres got a much needed win streak rolling while out west in San Jose, Anaheim, and then in Los Angeles on Halloween! The Sabres played a depleted Kings team that was missing one of their best players in Adrian Kempe, and took advantage. Led by another stellar Tage Thompson performance, the Sabres were able to go ahead late, and close out the game. With that, Tage was named the NHL's 1st star of the week, and not coincidentally that happened right when he was paired with Zach Benson. Benson continues to fuel whatever line he is on to play great, and Thompson has now scored 5 goals in the last two games, most of them setup by Benson. Sneaky Joe looks further at just how valuable Benson is offensively, and where he's ranking in some very important categories. Plus, our first look at the Buffalo Sabres Hometown Remix uniform, which looks like a home run! Meanwhile, there are a lot of bad ones, but also a lot of great ones around the NHL!

| Nikita Kucherov is ANOTHER monster trade pursuit for the Buffalo Sabres to go after | 31 Oct 2026 | 00:33:36 | |
Nikita Kucherov has told the Tampa Bay Lightning that he will not re-sign and has asked for a trade! A stunning turn of events in Tampa sets up for another giant trade idea for the Sabres to go after. However, this one does seem less likely than the others. The bigger conversation is about Kucherov and the Montréal Canadiens. There's smoke that could eventually be his destination and that should put more pressure on the Sabres to make a big move of their own. Plus, the Sabres beat the Anaheim Ducks in a wild 7-6 win where Tage Thompson put up a 3-goal, 5-point masterpiece. Colten Ellis meanwhile had a bunch of incredible saves, but did end up letting in six goals. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| DYLAN LARKIN trade is worth an overpayment by the Buffalo Sabres | 29 Oct 2026 | 00:29:43 | |
The Dylan Larkin trade saga is heating up in Detroit, with Larkin now being sat out of the lineup in order to protect his health for an upcoming deal. It's close to happening. The Buffalo Sabres have reportedly been pushing to get into the mix and have the ability to make as an attractive an offer to the Red Wings as anybody. However, it's going to cost a lot more than it would've cost for Connor Hellebuyck. If Larkin becomes a Sabre, it will likely cost Konsta Helenius and more. The issue is, will Larkin waive his no movement clause for Buffalo? The Sabres, Canadiens, Blues, and Bruins are all pushing to get him to say yes. Plus, a preview of Sabres-Ducks, featuring another West Coast team that struggles defensively.

| Colten Ellis SHUTS OUT the Sharks and makes case for most starts for the Buffalo Sabres | 28 Oct 2026 | 00:32:17 | |
Colten Ellis got his first start for the Buffalo Sabres in over two weeks and man did he show up. Ellis made a bunch of massive saves on his way to a 23-save shutout, making the case that he should be in a rotation with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen at the very least, let alone given the chance to run with the starting job. The Sabres did play well defensively in front of Ellis, mainly blocking shots with a season high 20. The team did struggle with turnovers, especially early. Ellis earned the next game on Thursday night, but will he get it? Meanwhile, Lindy Ruff's new lines looked spectacular... but only scored one goal before the goalie was pulled. The big surprise was how well the line of Jason Zucker, Josh Norris, Ryan McLeod was excellent. And of course, Tage Thompson and Konsta Helenius immediately looked better on a line with Zach Benson. Should we be concerned that even in a game where they looked great, the Sabres could only beat the goaltender once? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Lindy Ruff SHAKING UP the lines ahead of Buffalo Sabres visit to San Jose | 27 Oct 2026 | 00:29:55 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have been struggling to score so far this season, outside of one line Zach Benson-Noah Östlund-Jack Quinn, and Lindy Ruff is attempting to break that line up to create multiple scoring lines. Benson has proved that he can get anyone on his line going for over a year, which he will now attempt to do with Tage Thompson and Konsta Helenius. Meanwhile, Östlund and Quinn will try to do the same with Josh Doan. Colten Ellis for the first time in over two weeks gets another crack in goal. With Alex Lyon still missing to do injury, Ellis getting rolling is vital to re-create last year's goalie rotation. With Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen struggling, Ellis might be the only hope of giving him some relief. Looking at San Jose, Macklin Celebrini might be the most valuable player in the NHL, leading a team that otherwise doesn't have a lot of talent. The Sharks blueline is maybe the worst in the NHL and one that the Sabres should be able to get their goal scoring going against. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| NO CONNOR HELLEBUYCK for the Buffalo Sabres as goalie future now looks cloudy | 26 Oct 2026 | 00:35:40 | |
Connor Hellebuyck has been traded to the New Jersey Devils. The dream of the Buffalo Sabres obtaining the best goalie in the world has come to an end. Could the Sabres have matched the Devils offer considering there wasn't much that was valuable? Now that Hellebuyck is gone, what is the Sabres future in goal? Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has three years remaining on his deal, including this year, and we've yet to see Alex Lyon this season. Internal options don't sound sexy, but it may be where we ultimately end up. There are a couple other trade ideas that could become realistic as the season continues, including Filip Gustavsson in Minnesota. Plus, what went wrong for the Sabres in their overtime loss to Alex Tuch and the Washington Capitals. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres HAVE TO beat a very bad Philadelpha Flyers team | 21 Oct 2026 | 00:28:48 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have not played in a few days, and have not played at home in over a week, but get a lowly Philadelphia Flyers team that has scored the fewest goals in the league. The Flyers roster looks incredibly thin on goal scoring talent, and their top two centers have one career 50 point season between the two of them. Porter Martone was trusted to step right in and carry the offense, but that has not happened. This is the type of team that the Sabres, if they're going to be a playoff team, have to be able to beat, and maybe beat badly. The way the Flyers play presents a lot of opportunity for the Sabres blueline to dominate this game, especially with Rasmus Dahlin returning to the lineup. Also, Jason Zucker returns! Zucker has not yet played this season and jumps right back on a line with Konsta Helenius. And does UPL and Ryan McLeod being in the lineup tell us anything about how close a Connor Hellebuyck trade is? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Jarmo Kekäläinen BACKS UPL amidst Connor Hellebuyck Buffalo Sabres trade rumors | 20 Oct 2026 | 00:28:17 | |
The Buffalo Sabres are once again the center of Connor Hellebuyck trade reports, and if the deal gets done, it sounds like Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will go the New York Rangers. Sabres GM Jarmo Kekäläinen joined WGR on Tuesday morning and backed UPL's role in the future of the organization. Was Jarmo just saying what he needs to say? Or does he truly believe that? Plus, comments on Jack Quinn and where contract talks stand with him, excusing the coaching staff's role in the powerplay, and a look at the Sabres average age and size shows some interesting trends.

| Connor Hellebuyck trade talks BACK ON between Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets | 19 Oct 2026 | 00:29:44 | |
The Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets are reportedly on speaking terms again surrounding a Connor Hellebuyck trade, with an upcoming deadline where Winnipeg would have to start paying Hellebuyck, or even allow him to rejoin the team. His teammates in Winnipeg, like Adam Lowry and Kyle Connor, do not sound eager to have Hellebuyck rejoin their locker room. Re-evaluating what a Buffalo Sabres package would be for Hellebuyck likely includes Ryan McLeod, who is being played at 4th line wing because of the Sabres depth at center. Meanwhile, the Jets have an 18-year old with 0 points playing as their 2nd line center. A trade makes too much sense, especially with the New York Rangers now wanting Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

| COMEBACK KING Buffalo Sabres strike again, erasing two-goal deficit versus Maple Leafs | 16 Oct 2026 | 00:36:07 | |
The Buffalo Sabres are making a habit of getting behind and coming back in games, and they did it again Thursday night in Toronto! Jack Quinn was the catalyst with two goals early and two massive assists on goals by Dennis Gilbert and the overtime winner by Owen Power. Quinn was the best player on the ice in a game that included Tage Thompson, Auston Matthews, and William Nylander. Not to mention the Gordie Howe hat-trick with a fight in the second period. Mattias Samuelsson scores a massive goal to tie it with only a few minutes to go in the third period. Samuelsson's ability to score goals is one of the craziest developments in Sabres history, as he now has 18 goals in the last 94 games. Plus, Toronto's reaction to the loss including a very bad defensive core and Gavin McKenna getting benched for seemingly no reason? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs ready to FLY up and down the ice in high event matchup | 15 Oct 2026 | 00:28:46 | |
The Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs have the exact same record through seven games this season. The Sabres have been a great even-strength team that has really struggled on special teams. The Maple Leafs are an elite special teams team that cannot stop teams at even-strength. Can the Sabres find a way to slow down Toronto's powerplay and score on their own? The matchup between the two sets up for lots of scoring chances and goals. For the Sabres, it'll be Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen again, as he gets the chance to be the #1 again, amidst more trade speculation, this time with the New York Rangers. Meanwhile, Olen Zellweger has a new partner and looks to play huge minutes for the second consecutive game. Winning the season series for the Sabres against the Maple Leafs could be critical, as both teams figure to be competing for playoff spots in the Atlantic Division.

| The Buffalo Sabres are a GREAT even strength team, but a HORRIBLE special teams team so far | 15 Oct 2026 | 00:29:18 | |
It's early in the season, just seven games have been played on the Buffalo Sabres schedule thus far, but it's enough time to pickup on some trends. The Sabres so far look like a very good even strength team, but just aren't getting the goaltending. There is room to improve however, with Josh Norris and others dropping the ball so far. Getting Norris back into a top-six center position would be best for him and likely best for the whole team. Sneaky Joe would also like to see the return of the Zucker-McLeod-Quinn line when Jason Zucker returns from injury. A look at the penalty kill shows a lot of new pieces trying to figure out how to do the job, and the likes of Zach Metsa are falling well short of last year's bar. Beck Malenstyn's role could serve to increase playing more with Ryan McLeod, and Conor Timmins eventually should help in a big way. Meanwhile, the powerplay feels like a lost cause at this point. But Noah Östlund is helping the puck movement a lot, while Jack Quinn is sinking the top unit. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres STEAL A POINT in Montréal without Rasmus Dahlin | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:29:57 | |
The Buffalo Sabres were playing the second of a back-to-back, on the road in Montréal, without their best player Rasmus Dahlin, and found themselves down two goals in the third period. Ending the night with 1-point feels like a pretty good result! Despite being outplayed, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen kept the Sabres in the game with massive saves, and Olen Zellweger had his best game as a Sabre with two goals and tons of minutes played. Zellweger controlled the game every time he's on the ice. Meanwhile up front, Josh Norris scores, but continues to struggle, and Jack Quinn looks lost since a hot-start in the first couple of games. Looking ahead, the Sabres goalie rotation is up in the air. Will Lindy go back to Luukkonen in Toronto? Also, the trend of losing the special teams battle every night needs to end and end quickly.

| Buffalo Sabres BOUNCE BACK with huge divisional win over Florida Panthers | 12 Oct 2026 | 00:31:00 | |
The Buffalo Sabres put up two stinkers in a row against Western Conference opponents over the weekend, but got an opportunity to answer for that in their first division game of the year against the Florida Panthers. The Sabres put forth arguably their best game of the season getting the win over Florida. Josh Doan and Ryan McLeod got those 0s off their backs in the goal scoring column, Zach Benson had his best game of the year, and Owen Power continues to look dominant. Colten Ellis was strangely pulled after just two goals in the 2nd period, but Lindy Ruff's move works out! UPL stood tall with his best effort of the year. However, Rasmus Dahlin suffers an injury, and the penalty kill is looking like a real problem. Butcher Box Gametime KALSHI FanDuel FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

| Buffalo Sabres look to BUILD MOMENTUM in matchup with Dallas Stars | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:23:41 | |
The Buffalo Sabres are on a two game winning streak, both in games against the Western Conference, and they have another one on Thursday night against the Dallas Stars. The Stars have been slow out of the gates of the 2026-27 season, losing two of three to teams that did not make the playoffs last year. How strong an opponent is this for the Sabres? It's still a veteran group that should be expected to make the playoffs this season, with a great goaltender in Jake Oettinger. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen surprisingly gets the net after a very strong game by Colten Ellis on Tuesday. What this start could tell us about the rotation going forward, Josh Doan's injury, and what the top line will likely look like in this game if Doan can or cannot play. Peyton Krebs has looked good enough to stay up with Tage Thompson, and should be expected to play there. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Owen Power FUELS Buffalo Sabres comeback over the Minnesota Wild | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:29:14 | |
The Buffalo Sabres found themselves down two goals heading into the 3rd period against the Minnesota Wild, and then Owen Power took over. Power and Rasmus Dahlin, paired together, dominated the Wild and helped carry the Sabres to tie the game in regulation. Power, especially, controlled the flow of the game and created tons of opportunities. It was only fitting that he then gets the overtime game-winning goal! Also, Tage Thompson's strong finish, after a really tough start to the game, Colten Ellis bounces back from a difficult second period, and the officiating almost costs the Sabres with an egregious no-call before Minnesota's second goal.

| Colten Ellis GETS THE NET in Buffalo Sabres matchup with Minnesota Wild | 06 Oct 2026 | 00:29:00 | |
The Buffalo Sabres head into a matchup with a very strong Minnesota Wild team led by Colten Ellis in goal, who gets his first start of the season after an impressive rookie campaign. What Ellis has been doing during the offseason should give Sabres fans confidence that he can take the next step as a player. Lindy Ruff is making changes, not just in goal, but also to the forward lines and the powerplay. Justin Danforth is expected to make his season debut, and Noah Östlund gets promoted to the first powerplay unit. Sneaky Joe believes the powerplay struggles have gone on for far too long to believe there is any internal fix with this team, and attention should be turned to the penalty kill getting back to an elite level. Plus, a couple of Minnesota injuries to Brock Faber and Danila Yurov makes this a more favorable matchup for the Sabres. And why confidence should be sky high with Jack Quinn game to game after an electric start to the season vs Columbus and Chicago. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

The Buffalo Sabres win their home opener over the Chicago Blackhawks, a game in which the Sabres thoroughly outplayed a bottom-feeder team, but almost blew it. However, both Jack Quinn and Peyton Krebs were dynamic creating tons of chances and big goals. Plus, UPL's up and down game, Ryan McLeod's demotion to the fourth line and Jiří Kulich's promotion, coupled with his gamer winning goal! All around it was a fantastic night to be at KeyBank Center.

| Buffalo Sabres HOME OPENER welcomes back Bo Byram and the Chicago Blackhawks | 03 Oct 2026 | 00:24:31 | |
The Buffalo Sabres look to bounce back from their season opener with a home opener against Bo Byram and the Chicago Blackhawks, a team that the Sabres are heavily favored against. Without Connor Bedard, Chicago is struggling a lot, being outscored 11-2 in their first two games. And their new top pair defenseman isn't helping. In their most recent game against Utah, Byram and Alex Vlasic, Chicago's top pairing, were thoroughly dominated by the Mammoth. An early sign that Byram might not be up to being a team's #1 defenseman. Plus, what to expect from the Sabres lineup, featuring Olen Zellweger's debut.

| UPL and powerplay STRUGGLE in Buffalo Sabres opening loss to Blue Jackets | 02 Oct 2026 | 00:33:18 | |
The Buffalo Sabres open their season with a 6-3 loss in Columbus with five goals allowed by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and an 0 for 5 start for the powerplay. The powerplay especially let the team down after Mathieu Olivier acted like an idiot and drew Zach Metsa, who he has 40 pound on, into a fight. Despite Olivier's selfishness putting Columbus at a huge disadvantage with a 5-on-3, the Sabres couldn't take advantage. Plus, Konsta Helenius gets his season rolling with a goal, Louis Crevier struggles in his first appearance after a four year extension, and who starts now on Saturday between UPL and Colten Ellis?

The Buffalo Sabres season begins in Columbus likely with both Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Mattias Samuelsson ready to return to the lineup! However, we'll have to wait to see Olen Zellweger's debut. A look at the Sabres and Blue Jackets lineup shows a massive advantage for the Sabres in the middle-six. Plus, a look at last year's matchups between these two teams and how the Blue Jackets will want to play the Sabres high cycle.

| Buffalo Sabres TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS and Rasmus Dahlin to win the Norris some of the best bets this season | 30 Sep 2026 | 00:28:30 | |
Entering the Buffalo Sabres 2026-27 season, expectations are a lot higher than they have been in past seasons, but still not as high as some fans would like. Exploring the Sabres betting lines for this season shows a team that should be on the playoff bubble, and one that is the 5th best team in the Atlantic Division. Is 95.5 points as an over/under too little? Plus, why the over bets on Josh Doan this season are Sneaky Joe's favorite bets of the season, now that he'll be playing on the top line withTage Thompson. And a look at Awards odds shows Rasmus Dahlin as one of the favorites to win the Norris Trophy, and Konsta Helenius as a bit of a longshot to win the Calder Trophy.

| UPL and Mattias Samuelsson COULD RETURN for Buffalo Sabres opening night | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:25:11 | |
The Buffalo Sabres are two days away from opening their regular season against the Columbus Blue Jackets and some of the big injury questions are being answered. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was at practice in the starters net, so it seems likely that he is good to go for the start of the year. Even Alex Lyon is just days away from making the Sabres goalie room totally healthy. Mattias Samuelsson meanwhile skated on his own on Tuesday and Lindy Ruff sounded like he is getting really close. However, Conor Timmins could be awhile. We break down all the different blueline combinations we could have for the Sabres on Thursday and Saturday. Plus, new lines at practice features Josh Norris being bumped up to the top line and on the wing. Ryan McLeod gets moved back to center and the Noah Östlund line stays together. Plus, Lindy doesn't sound very complimentary of Konsta Helenius. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Will the Buffalo Sabres REPEAT as Atlantic Division champions in 2026-27? | 29 Sep 2026 | 00:31:53 | |
The Buffalo Sabres came out of nowhere to win the Atlantic Division in 2025-26. Now there are expectations to contend for that crown again, and make the playoffs. Before the Florida Panthers, Montréal Canadiens, and Toronto Maple Leafs take the ice on opening night, Sneaky Joe has his Atlantic Division predictions for 2026-27! With a clean bill of health and Brady Tkachuk now on the team, it's hard to see the Panthers not contending for the top of the division. Could the Tampa Bay Lightning fall back this year with a paper thin roster and Victor Hedman's availability issues? This is the toughest year to predict this division in a very long time. The Sabres will have their hands full with at least six good teams. Aura Cybersecurity Butcher Box Gametime KALSHI FanDuel FANDUEL DISCLAIMER: 21+ in select states.

| Colten Ellis may have to be the Buffalo Sabres NUMBER ONE goalie with injuries to UPL and Alex Lyon | 27 Sep 2026 | 00:27:06 | |
In the Buffalo Sabres preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Penguins, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen left in the 3rd period and Lindy Ruff says he "tweaked" something. With that, now Alex Lyon and Luukkonen are both injured with mystery timelines for return. If neither will be ready by Thursday, Colten Ellis is entering the regular season as the Sabres #1 goaltender. Ellis' play in the preseason combined with his rookie season should give Sabres fans confidence that he can start the first few games of the season until UPL or Lyon return. If UPL and Lyon's injuries go long however, the Sabres may want to consider bringing in a veteran option. No, this shouldn't change how the Sabres approach the Connor Hellebuyck situation, but a short-term veteran option like James Reimer would make sense for a couple weeks. Also, observations from the Sabres 3-1 preseason loss to Pittsburgh includes Louis Crevier looking good on the top-pair with Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power has a strong game, and Matt Grzelcyk has a turnover that leads directly to a Penguins goal.

| GOOD NEWS on Buffalo Sabres injuries as Noah Östlund and Konsta Helenius impress in Detroit | 25 Sep 2026 | 00:30:49 | |
We are less than one week away from the Buffalo Sabres opener and we have some positive news on the injury front. Lindy Ruff says Olen Zellweger should be ready for opening night coming back from a concussion and Mattias Samuelsson says it won't be that long for his injury! Despite this, the Sabres are adding veteran defenseman Matt Grzelcyk to the mix, more of an indictment on Dennis Gilbert and Ryan Johnson than any of the guys in the top-six. Plus, Noah Östlund and Konsta Helenius look strong in the Sabres preseason loss to the Red Wings, local product Trevor Kuntar impresses, and Jiří Kulich has another injury scare.

| Is Logan Stanley THE WORST IDEA to fill in for injured Buffalo Sabres defensemen? | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:28:28 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have injuries on the blueline to Mattias Samuelsson and Olen Zellweger, leaving the defense core paper thin. With Dennis Gilbert likely entering the lineup on the third pair, is it a terrible idea to consider bringing back Logan Stanley? Stanley is still available after not signing with a team during free agency, a surprise as it was reported his market was $4-5M per year. A look at last year shows Stanley wasn't as bad as fans thought, but he did not bring that intimidating physical factor that everyone was hoping for. The Stanley idea only gets off the ground if he's willing to come in for the veteran minimum, and the Sabres are willing to move off of him if everyone gets healthy. Plus, the kid line of Kulich-Östlund-Helenius gets ready to hit the ice in Detroit. And three Buffalo Sabres make our Locked On NHL Top 100 list, including of course Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, AND one other! Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Mattias Samuelsson and Olen Zellweger INJURED in Buffalo Sabres preseason win over Blue Jackets | 23 Sep 2026 | 00:29:55 | |
The Buffalo Sabres first home preseason game featured a total NHL lineup and they dominated an AHL heavy Blue Jackets roster 5-1. However, the story of the game is the team losing two of their top-four defensemen in Mattias Samuelsson and Olen Zellweger. Samuelsson left the game after blocking a shot with what looked like his ankle, and Zellweger was knocked out of the game by a monster hit by Carson Soucy. If the two players are going to miss time, what will the Sabres blueline look like? Pairings from practice give us the answer. Plus, Noah Östlund, Zach Benson, and Jack Quinn continue to look like the Sabres best line, as Östlund scores twice. Also, Josh Norris shows off the slap-shot, Tage Thompson shows off the wrist-shot, and Conor Timmins shows off... silky mitts? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Jiří Kulich RETURNS in Buffalo Sabres preseason loss to Pittsburgh Penguins | 22 Sep 2026 | 00:25:44 | |
The Buffalo Sabres opened up their preseason with a loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, filled with a lineup of AHL guys, AND Jiří Kulich. Kulich, who has not played a hockey game in almost a year, played big minutes in Pittsburgh and looked up-and-down, as one would expect. There were some nice offensive plays and we saw Kulich's shot power on display, but there were some sloppy plays in his first game action too. Some of that can be explained by him being surrounded by AHL players, playing against many NHL players in the Pens lineup. The hope would be Kulich progresses more and more, playing more than anyone this preseason. Plus, Radim Mrtka looks really solid playing on a pair with Ryan Johnson. Mrtka showed really good movement for a big man and broke up some dangerous chances from the likes of Kris Letang. Colten Ellis also looked stronger than Alex Lyon in limited action. And Lindy Ruff gives his plan for third pair defensemen Louis Crevier and Conor Timmins, who are not expected to ever actually play together. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres powerplay needs to TAKE A JUMP while the penalty kill needs to SUSTAIN | 21 Sep 2026 | 00:35:22 | |
The Buffalo Sabres powerplay had some abysmal stretches last season and it's almost amazing they ended up ranking 20th in the NHL. However, the powerplay did begin to turn it on at the end of the season, trying to get the puck down low. Are the Sabres ready to do that again? Josh Doan and Zach Benson could be enormous in the Sabres powerplay taking a big step forward. With Alex Tuch walking out the door, the Sabres biggest piece to replace on special teams is his penalty kill spot. The combination of Ryan McLeod and Tuch was the most dangerous shorthanded duo in the NHL over the last few years. Now that half of that duo is gone, Doan and others will have big shoes to fill. The Sabres penalty kill finished 4th best in the NHL last season and will do great to repeat that. Plus, the Sabres as a shootout team going into the season, led by shootout king Jack Quinn.

| Zach Benson, Noah Östlund, Jack Quinn THE BEST LINE at Buffalo Sabres Blue & Gold Scrimmage | 20 Sep 2026 | 00:23:57 | |
The Buffalo Sabres held their Blue & Gold Scrimmage at KeyBank Center ahead of the preseason and the line of Benson-Östlund-Quinn showed out scoring two goals and looking like the best trio on the ice. Which should be no surprised as any line Zach Benson goes on ends up looking good. It was also our first look at Owen Power and Olen Zellweger as a pairing, which Sneaky Joe has the review of. Lindy Ruff believed the two looked good, but also maybe too fancy at times. Also, Radim Mrtka struggles again. Should we be getting worried about Mrtka's long-term development?

| Buffalo Sabres have the BEST CENTER DEPTH EVER? Lindy Ruff thinks so | 18 Sep 2026 | 00:29:09 | |
Lindy Ruff met with the media after the Sabres practiced on Friday and along the way mentioned he believes this team has the best center depth he's seen in his entire career, with 9 NHL centermen. Is this the deepest center group we've seen, even more so than the 2006 Sabres? The depth has pushed Jiří Kulich, Konsta Helenius, and Ryan McLeod to the wing for the time being. Is Kulich capable of playing on the wing? Plus, a breakdown of all the new lines Lindy has put together, including a very interesting Benson, Östlund, and Quinn line. And a Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen narrative is starting that isn't true. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Butcher Box Aura Now, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.

With Buffalo Sabres training camp opening up, GM Jarmo Kekäläinen and head coach Lindy Ruff met with the media for the first time this season! Of course, the subject of Connor Hellebuyck came up, who is not reporting to Winnipeg Jets training camp. Neither Jarmo nor Lindy said anything to make it sound like the Sabres are closed to the idea, and they definitely could've. Plus, Jason Zucker has a sports hernia injury that will impact the opening night lineup. How will lines look without him?

| Buffalo Sabres EXTEND Noah Östlund amidst NHL salary frenzy | 15 Sep 2026 | 00:32:16 | |
The Buffalo Sabres joined the party as NHL teams are racing to get 8-year contracts in, while they're still allowed to do so, signing Noah Östlund to an eight year extension! This is a big bet on a player who hasn't even played 70 games in the NHL yet, but Östlund is a good bet to take. Lindy Ruff loves him. He's got almost every tool in toolbag. And the cost isn't that much at $6.6M per year. Östlund has shown elite vision and passing, has a good shot, and is already mature and responsible enough to be put in any situation offensively or defensively. It's hard to see these deal going poorly for the Sabres. The only small thing to worry about would be injuries, which Östlund has had since before the NHL. Plus, with giant extensions to Ryan Leonard in Washington and Drake Batherson in Ottawa, should the Sabres look to pay Jack Quinn now to a long term extension? Waiting a year on Quinn could mean a giant cap number, as 45 point players are now getting $10.5M per year. And at the Sabres prospect showcase, Radim Mrtka is not impressing the way you'd hope.

| Buffalo Sabres have loads of TRAINING CAMP BATTLES to sort out before the regular season | 12 Sep 2026 | 00:32:23 | |
Training camps are about to open around the NHL, including the Buffalo Sabres' camp which have have tons and tons of battles for roles in their lineup before the start of the regular season. The most interesting of which will be who plays on the top line with Tage Thompson. Much of that will depend on whether Tage is a center or wing. If he's a winger, like he was to start last year, Jiri Kulich could be a darkhorse to open the year as the Sabres #1 center. Konsta Helenius is also an option to open the season on the top line. Down the depth chart, there will be competition on the Sabres fourth line, and can Ryan McLeod stay in the top nine? Plus, Olen Zellweger vs Louis Crevier to be Owen Power's partner. And Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen vs Alex Lyon to be the opening night starter. Lindy Ruff will have a lot to figure out before the Sabres open up against the Blue Jackets in three weeks.

| The Toronto Maple Leafs are ON THE VERGE of collapse, while also being a threat to the Buffalo Sabres | 11 Sep 2026 | 00:30:03 | |
The Toronto Maple Leafs are coming off their worst season in years, and it sets up a big question about Auston Matthews' future in Toronto. Will a poor start to the season cause Matthews to push his way out? The Leafs amazingly won the draft lottery and selected Gavin McKenna, who could be their savior. However, the hire of Jim Hiller as head coach presents a new style of play for Toronto. Likely an ultra-defensive, conservative style of hockey that should keep the Leafs competitive, but limit their ability to win big. If they decide to play that way, it's only good news for Lindy Ruff's style of play that the Sabres employ. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Florida Panthers are the TEAM TO BEAT for the Buffalo Sabres to repeat as Atlantic Division champs | 09 Sep 2026 | 00:33:04 | |
The Buffalo Sabres are the defending Atlantic Division champions, but the Florida Panthers are still the gold standard of the division. The back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions had a forgettable season in 2025-26 due to countless injuries to Aleksander Barkov, Matthew Tkachuk, Brad Marchand, Sam Reinhart, and several other important players. It didn't help that Sergei Bobrovsky had the worst season of his career behind an injured squad. The Panthers had a big summer, trading away three 1st round picks to acquire Brady Tkachuk, pairing him with his brother in their forward ranks. The Tkachuk brothers will be one of the most intimating lines anywhere in the NHL. The Sabres were able to take on and beat the Tampa Bay Lightning playing a physical, ugly style multiple times, but the Panthers are better. Can they do the same against Florida? The likes of Zach Benson and Josh Doan will be very important when the Sabres play their four matchups with the Panthers this season. And the division could very well come down to these two teams.

| Detroit Red Wings are already THREATENING the Buffalo Sabres playoff drought record | 08 Sep 2026 | 00:29:43 | |
The Buffalo Sabres soared past the Detroit Red Wings last season, ending their 14-year playoff drought, while the Red Wings collapsed to extend their playoff drought to 10-years, now the longest in the NHL. Detroit now owns the second longest drought in NHL history, and their offseason makes it seem like catching the Sabres record is very realistic. Dylan Larkin wants out and maybe the only reason he hasn't been traded yet is the Red Wings don't have a General Manager. With Steve Yzerman being fired this offseason, are the Red Wings looking at baseball people to take over?!?! Patrick Kane already hit the ejector seat. Will Alex DeBrincat follow? The Red Wings are headed in the wrong direction and the Sabres should dominate them head-to-head this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Ottawa Senators are NOT TO BE SLEPT ON in fight to dethrone Buffalo Sabres in Atlantic Division | 05 Sep 2026 | 00:33:19 | |
Sneaky Joe picked the Ottawa Senators to win the Atlantic Division last year. They did not. However, they showed to be an elite level team, that just happened to have historically bad goaltending at the same time. The result was Ottawa squeaking into the playoffs and getting swept by the eventual Stanley Cup champions. The thing that did Ottawa in, was the first truly bad season of Linus Ullmark's career. You'd think this season all Ottawa needs is to get a better Ullmark and they'll challenge for the division. But with Brady Tkachuk demanding out this offseason, the Senators core group has a big test ahead without their emotional leader, and one of their best players. Without Tkachuk, who steps up for the Sens? The forward group has a bunch of really really good players, and the blueline is one of the deepest in the Eastern Conference. Will the Senators break or improve on last season? Plus, how the Sabres matchup with Ottawa, after Buffalo took last year's season series.

| Boston Bruins DID NOT do enough to catch the Buffalo Sabres this offseason | 02 Sep 2026 | 00:31:55 | |
The Boston Bruins fell to the Buffalo Sabres in the playoffs last season, showing they were not a great team, getting run over in most of the six games of the series. The Bruins defense core could not handle the pressure from the Sabres forwards, and the depth could not go four lines with the Sabres. Their answer? Add three former Sabres. JJ Peterka, Will Borgen, and Connor Clifton. None of which seem to help the Bruins with the things they struggled with against the Sabres. Sneaky Joe believes the Bruins will be closer to the bottom feeder team they were two years ago, than the 100 point team they were last year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| The Montréal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres are set up for LONG TERM SUCCESS | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:32:05 | |
The Buffalo Sabres and Montréal Canadiens might be the best two teams in the league for signing their best players before the salary cap jumped way up, meaning both are set up to be really good for a long time. The Canadiens might not have been a team worthy of the Conference Finals last season, but that doesn't mean their season overall was a fluke. Led by Lane Hutson, Nick Suzuki, and Cole Caufield the Habs have a core of incredible young players. Were the Sabres the better team when the two teams met in the second round of the playoffs? Games 6 and 7 would say the Sabres were better, but just couldn't finish the job. The Canadiens offseason has been super quiet, but there are smoke signals that they're ready to make a move for a big name forward if one gets moved. And what will their goaltending situation look like going forward? Keep an eye on Jacob Fowler. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Tampa Bay Lightning need to OVERCOME their head coach to catch the Buffalo Sabres | 31 Aug 2026 | 00:26:05 | |
The Buffalo Sabres finished ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Atlantic Division last season by three points, and went one round further. A huge reason for this was the Lightning being the most undisciplined team in the NHL led by their fraud of a head coach Jon Cooper. Will the Lightning improve on this next season? They will need to to finish first in the Atlantic. The Lightning did lose their top defenseman this offseason in Darren Raddysh to Toronto. Is adding 36-year old John Carlson enough to replace him? The Lightning still look like a slow blueline that can be taken advantage of by young fast teams. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Connor Hellebuyck DEMANDS TRADE PUBLICLY and the Buffalo Sabres are still the favorites | 27 Aug 2026 | 00:28:56 | |
Winnipeg Jets star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck has gone public with his trade request after months of not seeing a deal get done, as training camp gets closer! Hellebuyck pushing the Jets to get a deal done comes as excellent news to any hockey fan hoping their team acquires him, including Buffalo Sabres fans! The Sabres reportedly came the closest to acquiring him at the NHL Draft, but a deal did not get done. Now that Hellebuyck is making it clear he will not stay in Winnipeg, the price should come down, making a deal more likely. The problem is a deal is now harder for the Sabres with Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen having the ability to say no to a trade. Despite that, Sneaky Joe believes there are trades that make sense for Buffalo where Hellebuyck and UPL would co-exist in the same net. Could Ryan McLeod still be a center-piece to a trade? Plus, which other teams make sense to deal for Hellebuyck, and which teams the Sabres could try to send UPL to if they don't want to carry $13M worth of goalies at the same time.

| Buffalo Sabres future EXPANSION DRAFT plans will have tough decisions at forward | 26 Aug 2026 | 00:27:23 | |
The Buffalo Sabres have a couple years to think about what they will want to do in the next round of NHL expansion drafts, as it seems to be almost a certainty the league will add a second team in Texas and a team in Atlanta. When that does happen, the Sabres will likely have six easy decisions to make at forward, but the seventh forward to be protected could be really debatable. Jack Quinn, Peyton Krebs, Josh Norris, and Ryan McLeod could all be options to be protected, but multiple will be exposed. Plus, why the Olen Zelleweger experiment could just be a three-year experiment because of the expansion rules. If Mattias Samuelsson does not regress as a player, it seems unlikely the Sabres will protect Zelleweger. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| Buffalo Sabres should ATTACK the Ducks with Cutter Gauthier pursuit | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:25:06 | |
The Anaheim Ducks are the most vulnerable team in the NHL right now, with just over $9M in salary cap space, and a star forward in Cutter Gauthier turning down contracts worth $13M per season. Are the Ducks going to have to make multiple trades to create room to pay him? Or will they trade Gauthier away? If the latter ends up being possible, the Buffalo Sabres should be VERY AGGRESSIVE sending offers to Pat Verbeek. Would Daxon Rudolph, Jack Quinn, and a 1st round pick be enough to tempt the Ducks? If possible, Gauthier would provide the Sabres with an upgrade over Alex Tuch, who is 8 years younger. It would make the offseason a total win for the Sabres. If the Ducks take the more likely option of trading other guys on their team to make room, would any be of interest to the Sabres? Chris Kreider and Alex Killorn are decent players, but likely to old and expensive to interest Buffalo. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

| No Zach Benson IS NOWHERE NEAR the 124th ranked under-23 player in the NHL | 20 Aug 2026 | 00:26:56 | |
Sabres twitter is besides itself at Zach Benson being ranked 124th among NHL players drafted, many not even in the league yet by one prospects analyst, which is an insane ranking that you have to question a person's motivation after seeing. No Benson is nowhere near that amongst players of his age, but where does he rank on a list of Sabres young guys? Sneaky Joe ranks his top-seven Sabres under-23, including Konsta Helenius, Radim Mrtka, and more. The ceilings for Benson and Helenius are much higher than they've already showed and should be considered the elites of the Sabres young core. Will Daxon Rudolph join them on that tier? Plus, what we're hoping to see from the Sabres alternate uniform in the NHL's Hometown Remix series, and what it likely will be. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! FanDuel
