Buffalo Sabres: Zach’s Top 10 wins from the 2022-23 season
By Zach Jezioro
4. Sabres stay alive vs. the ‘Canes
Another team the Sabres have had a hard time against, the Carolina Hurricanes. Just like the Bruins, the Hurricanes had Buffalo’s number. In the second period, Buffalo was trailing until Casey Mittelstadt was on the receiving end from an incredible pass from Rasmus Dahlin to tie the game up 3-3.
Tage Thompson would score what would be the game winning goal early on in the third period and the Buffalo Sabres would FINALLY beat the Hurricanes to keep their playoff hopes alive.
3. Sabres unlikely hero against Tampa
We are in the top three! Number Three was yet another thrilling overtime win. The Tampa Bay Lightning are hard to beat in general, but as for Buffalo, it’s been awhile since they beat Tampa in Tampa. Despite having two, two goal leads, both teams would need more than 60 minutes to determine a winner.
An unlikely hero would score the game winning goal as Ilya Lyubushkin would give Buffalo the 6-5 winner shorthanded nonetheless. It was a very thrilling win.
