In honor of Black History Month, we’re continuing to highlight some of the great Black players who have skated for the Buffalo Sabres in the team’s history. Previously covered: Mike Grier, Val James, Tony McKegney, Grant Fuhr & Jean-Luc Grand Pierre.
Wayne Simmonds was only briefly a member of the Buffalo Sabres organization, but he’s the first one I’m highlighting in this series who is still actively playing in the NHL.
