The Sabres opened the week on a high note with an electric 5-1 home win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, highlighted by Josh Norris’ three-point return after missing 24 games. But the momentum didn’t last as Buffalo dropped its next two contests, being outscored 9-3, and their ongoing struggles on the road continued to loom large.

The Buffalo Sabres picked up at least a point in all three of their games this week, falling in overtime to both the Columbus Blue Jackets and Boston Bruins before earning a shootout win over the Washington Capitals.

The Buffalo Sabres faced a demanding schedule this week, playing four games against key Atlantic Division rivals – the Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings, and a home-and-home series with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Out of a possible eight points, the Sabres collected five, earning wins over Detroit and Toronto before falling in overtime to close out the week.

The Buffalo Sabres have flipped the script on their shaky start, winning two straight games , including an eight-goal outburst against the Ottawa Senators and a shutout victory over the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers.

The Buffalo Sabres have stumbled out of the gate, starting their season 0–3 after three disappointing outings over opening weekend.
