Mark Pysyk gets nervous sometimes when he looks at the Sabres’ defense corps. Buffalo has bolstered its blue line, so the competition for playing time will be intense.
Then Pysyk gets on the ice. He reads the plays correctly, makes the right passes and looks like the bona fide NHL player he wants to be.
After three years of being a part-timer, the time is right for Pysyk to make a permanent home in Buffalo.
“That’s the goal every training camp is to make the team and start the season up here,” Pysyk said in First Niagara Center.
