The Buffalo Sabres have strung together two wins in their last three games and have logged zero losses in regulation

The needle is pointing north for the Buffalo Sabres. At least they’re in games and even beating teams they should beat. And it’s the first step for any organization building for a brighter future. Finally healthier, they can at least address more pressing concerns.

But the team still has a long way to go before they even contend for the playoffs and ideally, the Stanley Cup. So, what do the Sabres need to do in the second half of the NHL season and the 2022 offseason?

They still need to figure out their lineup following their high-potential first line. They also need to figure out how to stay healthy and keep getting younger so they can build a foundation that will hold for the next five to seven seasons.
