The New York Rangers are doing their due diligence around the league, as general manager Chris Drury tries to find the best solution moving forward for his goaltending. Igor Shesterkin is out for the season and even though Dylan Garand has performed well in place of Shesterkin so far this season, Drury is expected to go out and acquire a experienced goaltender to tandem with Garand moving forward. Drury had a slew of scouts attend a recent Montreal Canadiens/Buffalo Sabres game, and many...

TORONTO – Had he kept recovering from the left shoulder injury he suffered in the preseason, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said goalie Alex Lyon would’ve made his season debut Tuesday in Montreal.
Instead, as his teammates lost a 4-3 shootout to the Canadiens, Lyon, having suffered a setback in practice, was back in Buffalo.
“Now we’ll just see with rehab and stuff where he ends up,” Ruff said this morning in Scotiabank Arena.

TORONTO – In his first game subbing for injured Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin, Olen Zellweger performed splendidly, enjoying perhaps his best night in the NHL.
Skating alongside defenseman Mattias Samuelsson for much of Tuesday’s 4-3 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens, Zellweger set career highs by scoring two goals and playing 25 minutes, 49 seconds.
No one, of course, can truly replace Dahlin, one of the NHL’s most dynamic defensemen, as he recovers from ... Read the full art...
The Buffalo Sabres are hoping to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again. They finally broke a 14-season playoff drought in 2026. Now, they want to build sustained success on the ice.

Wrapping up an early-season, four-game home stand on Tuesday night, the Montreal Canadiens were on Bell Centre ice to host the Buffalo Sabres for the first time since last year’s playoff series.

Everything was pointing towards a regulation win, right before a quick flight to Washington to complete their back-to-back.
But you know what they say; a two-goal lead is the worst lead in hockey, and that rang...

First period
Nick Suzuki gets the game’s first scoring chance as the puck slides over to him on the wing. He lines up a shot for the top corner, but it catches on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s jersey and deflects over the net.
Buffalo’s first scoring chance comes a few seconds after an Adam Engström turnover in his own zone, with a second error coming as the point shot deflects in off his at the side of the net to give the Sabres an early lead. A shift can’t get much worse than that.
