Sabres’ Win Streak Shouldn’t Impress Anyone – And The Real Test Is Immediately Ahead

The Hockey News argues that the Buffalo Sabres' three-game winning streak is unimpressive due to the low quality of their opponents. Buffalo secured victories by beating the San Jose Sharks 2-0, outlasting the Anaheim Ducks 7-6, and edging the Los Angeles Kings 3-2 on Saturday. Writer Adam Proteau notes that all three defeated clubs currently struggle near the bottom of the league standings.

The real test for head coach Lindy Ruff's squad lies in their upcoming six-game schedule, according to the article. That upcoming stretch features matchups against stronger teams including the Ottawa Senators, Vegas Golden Knights, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Dallas Stars, alongside games against Columbus and Chicago.
