Top three nationally-televised Buffalo Sabres games to watch in 2022: Game #1 – vs Pittsburgh Penguins, November 2nd/7:30pm TNT
It seems like, no matter how stable the Penguins are or how unstable the Buffalo Sabres have been, playing the Pens is always an intriguing matchup. And somehow, some way, the Penguins have kept a solid core of players, which is something the Sabres are striving to emulate.
Further, this matchup symbolizes a game between one of the older, more established teams in hockey against a younger, upstart squad in the Sabres. And while the Penguins once again figure to contend for a playoff spot this season, the Sabres are merely interested in progress.
Despite the discrepancy in experience here, the the last time these two teams met, the Sabres won in a thriller. And with the home crowd at their backs, this game once again has all the makings of a potential upset. Tune in to see how the Sabres fare in their first game on national television in 2022-23.
