Buffalo's offense has run hot and cold in the early stages of the 2026-27 NHL season, but one popular ex-Sabre is having no trouble lighting the lamp right now.
Former Buffalo Sabres winger Jeff Skinner has made a strong start with Swiss National League club EHC Biel-Bienne, recording nine points (six goals and three assists) in his first seven games. The 34-year-old Canadian forward moved to Europe during the summer after failing to secure a contract in the NHL ahead of the 2026-27 season.
