It’s beginning to feel a lot like a Christmas miracle in Buffalo. The Sabres entered the holiday break as the hottest team in the NHL, riding a league-leading seven-game winning streak and sitting just two points out of a playoff spot. They’re also a perfect 7-0-0 since the start of the “Jarmo Era.”

The Buffalo Sabres shake up their front office by replacing GM Kevyn Adams with Jarmo Kekäläinen, pursue star defenseman Quinn Hughes, and surge on the ice with a three‑game win streak and a strong Western road trip.

The Buffalo Sabres officially kicked off training camp this week with a 61-man roster featuring 32 forwards, 21 defensemen, and eight goaltenders all fighting for spots on opening night.
