Buffalo Sabres Fan Chatter #7: The Quest For A Home Win
The Buffalo Sabres need a home win . . . or just any win, really . . . but will they get it? Make your picks!
The Buffalo Sabres host the Florida Panthers in the KeyBank Center today at 1 p.m. which means I am under the gun to get these fan picks up and running!
Honestly, I was asleep at the wheel and didn’t check the time for this game until around 10 this morning. Here’s the projected line combinations for the Sabres, and then make your picks!
Panthers projected lineup
Jonathan Marchessault — Aleksander Barkov — Jaromir Jagr
Colton Sceviour — Vincent Trocheck — Reilly Smith
Jared McCann — Denis Malgin — Shane Harper
Derek MacKenzie — Greg McKegg — Shawn Thornton
Michael Matheson — Jason Demers
Mark Pysyk — Alex Petrovic
Roberto Luongo
Scratched: Kyle Rau, Steven Kampfer
Injured: Jonathan Huberdeau (Achilles), Nick Bjugstad (hand), Jussi Jokinen (lower body)
Sabres projected lineup
Matt Moulson — Ryan O’Reilly — Kyle Okposo
Marcus Foligno — Johan Larsson — Brian Gionta
Zemgus Girgensons — Sam Reinhart — Tyler Ennis

Josh Gorges — Rasmus Ristolainen
Dmitry Kulikov — Zach Bogosian
Anders Nilsson
Robin Lehner
Scratched: Casey Nelson
Injured: Jack Eichel (left high ankle sprain), Evander Kane (cracked ribs)
Now, let’s see if anyone can beat me – I got a whole one pick right the other night, which was good enough to beat Zach! Wheeee! All picks are of the Yes/No variety!
1. Will the Buffalo Sabres score today? (5 pts.)
2. Will Mark Pysyk score at least one point today against his former team? (5 pts.)
3. Will Dmitry Kulikov get called for at least one penalty against his former team? (5 pts.)
n. Will Anders Nilsson give up more than 3 goals? (5 pts.)
5. Will the Sabres win today? (5 pts.)
Tell your friends, tell your family: let’s get some picks in quickly, and come back to lament what you see on the ice from the Buffalo Sabres!!!
