While the Buffalo Sabres are on a four game skid, they have gone toe to toe with some of the top teams in the league, and haven’t lost by more than a goal. This alone is not a cause for celebration, but it’s a great reason to be positive about some of the things being seen this season.
A player that stands out while filling in has been defenseman Lawrence Pilut.
Pilut has been having a killer year with the Rochester Americans, and when Marco Scandella and Jake McCabe went down with injuries, he finally got his chance to prove he could make a difference with the big club.
