In a game filled with goals, hits, action, and a few odd occurrences, the New Jersey Devils fell to the Buffalo Sabres, 4-6, in their first game of the 2018 Prospect Challenge. It was a very entertaining and fast pre-preseason game. The home fans - the Challenge is based in the Harborcenter in Buffalo - were sent home happy and the Devils put up a fight all the way through.
The Buffalo Sabres have one of the best prospect systems in the NHL and it was easy to see why tonight. Their roster for the 2018 Prospect Challenge featured many of their name players in their pipeline: Rasmus Dahlin, Casey Mittelstadt, Rasmus Asplund, and Victor Olofsson.
