Buffalo Sabres: Zach’s Top 10 wins from the 2022-23 season
By Zach Jezioro
6. Sabres exorcise a Bruin-sized demon
Coming in at six, Buffalo exercised a demon. The Sabres beat a lot of good teams this season. Vegas, Colorado, Dallas, New Jersey, just to name a few. However, no bigger win against an elite team came on New Years Eve. To close out the year of 2022, Buffalo had an afternoon matinee against the Boston Bruins.
Trailing 3-2 with just about two minutes left in the third, Buffalo would tie the game up thanks to Dylan Cozens. Alex Tuch would win the game for the Sabres thanks to an amazing pass from Cozens. This game was big for me because Boston has always had Buffalo’s number. Even though the Bruins blew out the Sabres in their other meetings, it felt good to beat Boston for once.
5. Devon Levi’s debut
We are halfway through the countdown! Number Five of my favorite Sabres wins was Devon Levi’s debut against the New York Rangers to close out the month of March. After blowing a 2-0 lead, the Sabres and Rangers would need overtime.
Jeff Skinner would score the game winning goal and pointed right to Levi after he scored because of how awesome Levi played in his first NHL game. When Levi signed with Buffalo, fans rejoiced and did very well against a very good team in his debut.
