Defense and goaltending win the day
Sabres 4 – Bluejackets 0 Just another preseason game with players you will not see once the NHL regular season begins, but oh what fun they can be.
Defensemen Byram, Power, and Wahlberg provided timely checks and offense and goaltenders Georgiev and Levi combined for the shutout.
Of course there had to be a fight, Ruff even has one of his goons on the bench, a 30-year-old defenseman who has spent his entire career in the minors except for 25 games playing for New Jersey under Ruff, in those 25 NHL games he earned 77 PIMs and a -6 plus/minus, let us hope Ruff is not so enamored that (d) Geertsen will be on the Sabres roster.
The Stars of the Game as selected by Buffalo Winter: 1st (d) Byram, 2nd (d) Power, and 3rd (g) Levi.
