Multiple members of the Sabres organization have been added to the covid list since they played the Devils. Buffalo has announced that they have rescheduled 12 games so far.

The rescheduled games go as follows:

As of right now, the Sabres have added five players to their covid list. Taylor Hall, Rasmus Ristolainen, Tobias Rieder, Brandon Montour, and Jake McCabe have all been placed on Buffalo’s covid list over the past week. Head coach Ralph Krueger has tested positive for Covid-19 but is currently undergoing all of the necessary health and safety protocols.

The Sabres did not add anyone new to their covid list yesterday. Hopefully, that trend can continue, and we can get back to Sabres hockey as soon as possible.
