Two wins and a third-period lead against an NHL lineup isn’t bad, right? The group of Sabres closing out the preseason in Buffalo as the regular team prepares for Friday’s season opener in Czechia has looked impressive.
Following two 3-2 road wins, a team mostly comprised of Rochester Americans led the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 on Saturday before falling 6-3.
Tonight against the Detroit Red Wings at KeyBank Center, that group B group closes out the exhibition schedule. The complete roster is below. As expected, the top prospects left in camp – forwards Konsta Helenius, Noah Ostlund and Isak Rosen – will play.
Forwards: Helenius, Ostlund, Rosen, Ty Cheveldayoff, Josh Dunne, Mason Jobst, Aleksandr Kisakov, Brett Murray, Olivier Nadeau, Viktor Neuchev, Graham Slaggert, Anton Wahlberg and Brendan Warren.
Defense: Vsevolod Komarov, Noah Laaouan, Zach Metsa, Nikita Novikov, Colton Poolman, Ethan Prow and Jack Rathbone.
Goalies: Scott Ratzlaff and Felix Sandstrom.
