Through nine games in the month of October, the Buffalo Sabres are doing quite alright for themselves. At 6-3-0 and with 12 points, the Sabres currently sit second in the Atlantic Division and fourth in the Eastern Conference.
With an average of 4.11 goals-for per game, the Sabres are second in the NHL.
Dahlin, Thompson on a Roll
We can’t possibly talk about the Sabres’ opening month without talking about the play of Rasmus Dahlin and Tage Thompson. The two have each accrued 12 points, including six goals, in nine games.
Dahlin, of course, set and then extended an NHL record at the beginning of the season as he showcased the offensive side of his game.
