The Buffalo Sabres made several additions to their roster this off-season, but none have been more impactful than Jason Zucker. The 33-year-old winger has been outstanding for the Sabres, posting 18 goals,

The Anaheim Ducks have not been in a playoff race this late in the season in seven years. They will try to better their chances of ending their postseason drought when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night in the finale of a three-game road trip.

No matter how well they play in the next six games before the March 7 Trade Deadline, the New York Rangers needed only one game to prove why they should be sellers and nothing else.

The Buffalo Sabres capitalized on a five-goal first period in an 8-2 win over the New York Rangers on Saturday night.

The New York Rangers entered Saturday's game at the Buffalo Sabres on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture and quickly running out of time to get themselves back in it.

The next few weeks and months will be a critical time for the Sabres as they decide which direction to take this roster.

Buffalo was dominant from the drop of the puck, racing out to a 5-0 first-period lead on its way to an 8-2 win over New York.

Rob Ray was placed at ice level to call the game between the two team benches.

Each of the coaching points delivered by Lindy Ruff in the practices leading into the game were executed by Rasmus Dahlin from start to finish.

The Buffalo Sabres currently sport a 22-27-5 record and are at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. With this, it is possible that they could end up trading some of their pending unrestricted free agents before the NHL Trade Deadline passes.

In their first period after the break, the Rangers allowed five goals and saw goaltender Igor Shesterkin pulled as Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin, and forwards Tage Thompson and Ryan McLeod had two goals apiece to lead Buffalo to an 8-2 victory at KeyBank Center.
