The Nashville Predators took on the Buffalo Sabres in Buffalo tonight. The Predators, who need to collect as many points as possible with a challenging April schedule, are jockeying for playoff position in a tight Central division, and tonight’s match up felt like a “must win” for the Preds.
The Buffalo Sabres entered the game having earned points in nine of their last ten games. The team had emotional energy on their side as the Sabres raised a banner before puck drop in honor of play-by-play legend Rick Jeanneret who is retiring after this season - his 51st season calling Sabres games.
