Number 4 – Sabres v. Chicago Blackhawks, March 28th, 2022

Spoiler alert, the Chicago Blackhawks will be mentioned twice in this article. Number features the Sabres taking on the Blackhawks in Chicago. This game showed Buffalo’s resiliency once again but with a taller task. Even though Chicago wasn’t as good as Minnesota, this game had the Sabres being down 4-0 at one point.

Buffalo would storm their way back to tie the game up at 4-4. However, the Blackhawks would take the lead once again. Alex Tuch would tie the game up at 5-5 with less than 2 minutes to go in regulation.

Ready to see one of the weirdest goals of all time? Tage Thompson would score the game winning goal with just about 10 seconds left in the game. Once again, the resilience of this Sabres team is why this game is a favorite of mine.
