Well, this should be a fun one. As we had hoped, the boys in forest green and wheat got back on track Thursday against the depleted, exhausted, and third-string-goalie-using Vancouver Canucks, with a never-in-doubt 6-2 victory.
The Sabres, meanwhile, have been on my radar as a team to watch all season with all of their skilled young players and intriguing offseason additions, and they are now on a four-game winning streak following last night’s shootout win in Winnipeg.
Minnesota has made it a habit over the past few seasons of using games against the Sabres to get out of ruts.
