BUFFALO – Zero goals? Don’t sweat it, kid. Keep doing what you’re doing.
That’s a not a direct quote, but some words that seem to convey Sabres coach Lindy Ruff’s feelings about Zach Benson’s interesting start this season.
Through nine games, Benson, 21, has been one of Ruff’s best players, generating offense, causing chaos around the net and agitating opponents.

BUFFALO – Add one more name to the Sabres’ injury list.
Forward Sam Carrick missed Tuesday’s practice with a mid-body injury and is day to day, coach Lindy Ruff said following the session in LECOM Harborcenter.
He said Carrick’s injury might be related to the left arm injury he suffered in a fight late last season.
Ruff said Carrick and forward Justin Danforth, who’s day to day with an upper-body injury, were being examined by ... Read the full article

Florida Panthers wing Brady Tkachuk was named the NHL’s First Star of the Week. Tkachuk, buoyed by back-to-back natural hat tricks, led the league with six goals and ten points in four contests to propel the Panthers to three victories. He collected an assist, his first point with Florida, in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on October 12. Tkachuk then became just the third player to record a natural hat trick in consecutive games, scoring three goals and adding an assist in a 7-3 triumph...
BUFFALO – Through nine games this season, the Sabres sport an underwhelming but intriguing 4-3-2 record.
The team that ended last season on a torrid 39-9-5 run has stumbled out of the gate a bit, often falling behind multiple goals before roaring back.
Incredibly, the Sabres have held a lead just 60:32 this season, barely the equivalent of one game. Only two teams – the hapless Calgary Flames (39:21) and Los Angeles Kings (32:59) – ... Read the full article

Connor Hellebuyck's suspension ends on Friday, and while there's some potential awkward conversations coming in the Jets' dressing room, all signs are pointing to a trade being completed before any of that needs to take place. According to multiple reports, the Jets are moving into advanced trade talks on Hellebuyck, and the Buffalo Sabres and Utah Mammoth appear to be the two teams battling it out with offers. There's also the New York Rangers, who play a factor in the Hellebuyck trade, as sp...
BUFFALO – Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin, who has missed the last three games with an upper-body injury, returned to practice this morning and expects to play Wednesday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
“I think I’ll be ready,” Dahlin said this afternoon in KeyBank Center.
The Sabres did well without Dahlin, their top defenseman, compiling a 1-0-2 record during their road trip.
Dahlin hasn’t played since shooting the puck and reaching for his lower back as he ... Read the full article

We saw a lot of the usual from the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night. They played the Buffalo Sabres, a team that we’ve grown to know quite well since last season. They jumped out to a two-goal lead, looking very in control of the game in the process. They blew that two goal lead, and ultimately had to tempt fate by finding themselves in three-on-three overtime yet again this season. It felt like this might be another squandering of at least a point.
But it was a Saturday night, and th...
Early in his tenure in Buffalo, the idea of Tage Thompson someday taking his place among some of the Sabres’ all-time greats seemed ludicrous.
In 104 games over his first three years, he scored just 15 goals.
But Thompson matured rapidly after former Sabres coach Don Granato switched him from wing to center five years ago.
Today, he ranks among the NHL’s elite scorers.
In 393 games since the beginning of the 2021-22 season, Thompson ... Read the full article

First period
The Canadiens have some pace early, putting pressure on Buffalo’s defence.
The Sabres have the first two shots, but neither one troubled Jacob Fowler.
Nick Suzuki throws three hits on a shift that began with the puck in his zone and ends up setting Cole Caufield up for a open look on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who watches the slapshot go just wide.
David Reinbacher lays a puck up the boards in the offensive zone, and has to get back on defence, but on the wrong si...

Toronto Maple Leafs rookie Gavin McKenna is certainly looking to turn the page, following his mid-game benching during Thursday’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres. McKenna was inexplicably benched by head coach Jim Hiller, and did not take a shift following the 10:20 mark of the second period. Toronto surrendered a 4-2 lead as McKenna watched…
