Eichel Leads Sabres Comeback Win vs

On-ice sessions will begin Friday. With this in mind, a success for the Sabres in the 2015-2016 season would be to compete for the playoffs, as they have the talent to do so.

Jack Eichel was responsible for creating two 3rd period goals (1G, 1A) as Buffalo comes from behind to beat the Wild 3-2 in regulation.

And while they aren’t yet the team they’re hoping to be, their strong off-season demonstrates they’re well on their way.

“Everyone has that optimism heading into camp”, captain Brian Gionta said. It was hard to get through.

The one player gained: former Buffalo Sabres forward – and Rochester Americans player – Zac Dalpe, who signed a contract with the Wild on July 1st. It will be interesting to see if he can continue to be himself around the veterans. “I was thinking at the time that I was tiring out my skill players, but they came up big with the kill there”. Zemgus Girgensons made a nice play along the wall to gain control, fed the puck to Eichel down the middle, who passed to a crashing Matt Moulson for the goal.

“There’s so many good players, there’s going to be lots of possible combinations and possible good combinations”, O’Reilly said.

“We have an exciting team”, he said.

“He sees his reads, reads the ice super well”.

Kane said the developments generic professional… And I’ve never seen him play live, so that’ll be great. Recently acquired through a trade, Kane sat out the end of last season due to a shoulder injury. He has work to do.

General Manager Tim Murray set out to make his team better following the Sabres’ bottom-of-the-barrel 2014-15 season, and that’s exactly what he did. That’s one or two too many at each position. Surely it will take some time for the new-look forward corps to really hit its stride, but if/when it does, watch out. Eichel won the draw to Franson who got the puck out over the Buffalo blueline.

Said dive was quite impressive, as the Sabres started the season with the worst roster in the league, and when teams like the Arizona Coyotes, Edmonton Oilers and Toronto Maple Leafs started to challenge for the 30th overall spot, Murray started trading away anyone of value. “I’m not coming in here thinking that I’m expected to play a certain amount of games”.
