Sabres News & Rumors: Levi, Johnson, Tuch & Peterka

Last night, the Buffalo Sabres defied expectations and managed to beat a fresher Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 6-4. Given the Sabres’ difficult schedule, I imagine that Toronto was highly favored to win. The Sabres had played back-to-back games and three games in four nights and were coming off a disappointing loss to the Philadelphia Flyers. On the other hand, the Maple Leafs had a relatively lighter schedule. It was just their third game in seven days.
However, every time the Maple Leafs made a positive play, the Sabres came back to recapture the game’s momentum. Whenever Toronto managed to score a goal, there was a positive response from the Sabres. In the end, Buffalo just wouldn’t go away and won the game 6-4. In this edition of Sabres News & Rumors, I’ll take a look at the players who made a difference for Buffalo in this victory. I’ll also share some other news from the team.
Maple Leafs News & Rumors: Woll, Nylander, Marner & Matthews

In a high-scoring game at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, the Buffalo Sabres just kept coming back. In the end, they outpaced the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 6-4. While the game featured some incredible offensive displays, like Auston Matthews’ third hat trick of the season, Buffalo’s resilience ultimately won the game. You could call some of their goals lucky bounces, except they had to put themselves in the right position to generate that luck – and, they did.
