This one rests with the Tage Thompson line, which has zero points over the first pair of contests. However, we saw them start to shift back to life last night, and Tage especially looked like a better player than he did on Thursday, pacing the team with four shots on goal and using his size to muscle through the Islanders.
We have, however, seen the Buffalo Sabres showing off their high-octane approach with the Mittelstadt line, where Zach Benson, Casey Mittelstadt, and Jordan Greenway have been remarkable throughout the first two contests.
