For the first time this season, the Buffalo Sabres can accurately be described as “hot.” Heading into their NHL All-Star break, the Sabres are coming off a week where they swept a three-game Western Canada road trip.
This is the first time the Sabres have won three straight this season, and the first time they’ve achieved this feat since they did it almost exactly a year ago. Oddly enough, Buffalo got hot around the same time last season, with a three-game winning streak from January 20 – 24, 2017. That time, the wins came against Detroit, Montreal and Nashville.
