The unquestioned iron man and grinder of the Buffalo Sabres has come out to be none other than Nicolas Deslauriers. The gritty winger was acquired by General Manager a few seasons ago and he has come in guns blazing and fists ready.
Not really known much as a scorer, Nic Deslauriers is a former defenseman turned winger. He is able to use the knowledge as a former defender to pick at the weak points of a team’s defense and put some physical pressure on them. He knows the pace that a defender needs to play at and he is able to make them cringe as he charges at them for a hit.
