8. The epic on Ryan Miller Night

My next favorite Sabres win comes on Ryan Miller Night back in January. Buffalo was hosting the New York Islanders on a very special night. Not only were they inducting former goalie Ryan Miller in the teams Hall of Fame, but they were also retiring his Number 30 into the rafters.

It was ironic that both goaltenders put on a show, but the Sabres were able to win the game thanks to a beautiful loft pass from Rasmus Dahlin to Dylan Cozens who scored the game winning goal 12 seconds into overtime. To top it off, the team brought Ryan onto the ice to celebrate.

7. Buffalo Sabres spook Red Wings

My seventh favorite Sabres win came on Halloween night against the Detroit Red Wings. Buffalo would win the game 8-3 and the win would also feature another Tage Thompson hat trick. Getting a hat trick is cool enough but it’s how he scored it that was jaw dropping. Rasmus Dahlin’s reaction says it all.
