Through a series of unfortunate events that no one could have possibly predicted, the Buffalo Sabres are now once again running low on goaltenders with NHL contracts. A combination of factors at play - management, injury, COVID-19, and league rules that aren’t giving teams a taxi squad this season - has put the Sabres in a tough position when it comes to their netminding.
As it stands right now, the Sabres are down to just two healthy goaltenders on NHL contracts in the entire organization. It’s a bleak situation, but also another example of how chaotic things have been in net for the franchise over the last few years.
