Buffalo Sabres fans who have been visiting Sabre Noise for some time may be familiar with our “Who Wore It” series. We started this several years ago, highlighting one player to have worn each jersey number with the Buffalo Sabres. This series doesn’t designate who is the “best” to have worn that number, but simply allows fans to learn a little more about the team’s history and the players in it.
We last discussed jersey number 68, worn by just one player in Buffalo Sabres history.
Today, we skip ahead to #71, which has been worn by two players in Buffalo Sabres history: Jochen Hecht and Derek Whitmore.
