Sabres Need To Pile Up Points On Early Season Homestand

The Buffalo Sabres earned a 4-3 comeback victory over the Chicago Blackhawks in their home opener at KeyBank Center. Third-period goals from Rasmus Dahlin and Jiri Kulich secured the win for head coach Lindy Ruff's squad, opening an important five-game homestand after dropping their season opener in Columbus.

Writer Michael Augello argues that Buffalo must collect points during this home stretch against Minnesota, Dallas, Utah, and Florida. Augello stresses the urgency of a strong start in a competitive Atlantic Division, especially since the Sabres play seven of their next eight games on the road.
