Today, in celebration of the Pegulas ownership of both the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown officially declared Thursday, October 8, “One Buffalo Day”. “We are all anticpating a fresh new look and a great season”.

Eichel, a former Boston University standout, was drafted No. 2 overall earlier this year.

The top line of Kyle Turris, Mike Hoffman and Mark Stone, provided most ofl the offence for the Senators. He added his second goal of the night in the second period.

Sabres starting goaltender Robin Lehner, making his Sabres debut, left the game about midway through the second period.

Brian Gionta suffered a lower-body injury late in practice on Wednesday, leading to speculation that he could miss the opening contest against Ottawa.

Lehner allowed one goal on 12 shots, and was replaced by Chad Johnson. That matched a franchise record consecutive road games with a point set from March 4 to November. 4, 2007, when Ottawa went 11-0-4 according to STATS.
