When the Buffalo Sabres brought back their popular “Goathead” jersey for 12 home games last season, the black and red motif brought them some extra jam.
The Sabres registered a gaudy 10-1-1 record in their alternate uniform, recording five or more goals in nine contests and outscoring opponents 58-36. In the rest of their games at KeyBank Center, they compiled a dismal 7-19-3 mark.
So why not sport the “Goathead” more often? In the 2023-24 season, the Sabres will be wearing their third jersey 15 times during the 41-game home slate.
The complete schedule the Sabres announced Thursday is below:
– Oct. 21 vs. New York Islanders, 7 p.m.
