Yeah Buffalo isn't rolling these days more like folding.
The Hoff might be out for this one, and Armia is non-contact, so maybe Pittie gets called up? Or, 7D?
It's a back-to-back with CBJ, so I'd probably call up Pitlick to be on the safe side.
Slafkovsky has apparently taken Hoff's spot with Dvo and Gallagher. We'll see how that goes.

Ullmark leaving via the UFA market hurt them badly. No goalie depth to replace him and their dmen depth isn't so hot outside their two 1st overall.
they sold their soul for first overall, got second and the losing mentality in entrenched since then.

He’s being evaluated for a lower body injury. No other news I saw other than that.

Don't know. He didn't play at all in 3rd period of last game, and we have a back-to-back, 3 games in 4 days this week: Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday, and Friday's game is 2pm, so it's not even a full 48 hours from the back-to-back.
I'd have to imagine he's out this week.
Jake Evans 1 assist in 18 games and is a -8.
I expected much more than this from this player who was solid last season.

maybe they are going with 7 D?
Transition game was awful sitting wouldn't be bad at all. Remember the season grind starts now. I could see him maybe sitting 2 rookies out for this game since its a BTB.

That is some production for 1.7M or whatever his current salary is. Wonder who would be a better fit to play with Evans. Clearly isn't working with Slaf and the rotation of Pezz, Armia or whoever else happens to be on the 4th line.

During Buffalo’s 8 game losing streak they’ve given up 38 goals, an average of 4.75 goals per game. I expect to see some scoring in this game.

I expect to see more of that brilliant play-making skills seen in the final minute with Philly. Do that and we will dominate Buffalo

"decent".... KK had over 30 points in his first season as a Hab at 18... Was he just "decent" ? or over achieving ?

Talented rookies need to play with talented vets. Sergachev got to learn every day from Hedman and McDonagh for example, not the same learning potential as with 3 other rookies and Wideman lol. Glad some good vets are back but man would a top 10 calliber rhd change things.
I’m thinking Buffalo rookies had very little to pick up from their vets over the years…

I think he's one of the few who isn't benefitting from the "concepts" approach. His limitations make him a better cog in a machine than a creative contributor. He might improve if someone can drive his line and spring him on breaks as his best offensive asset is his mobility and to a lesser degree his shot.
He's a good soldier and he'd make a fine 13th forward. Glad we're not relying on him to save our C depth.

Slafkovskys best game should be coming up soon. Maybe it's with those guys as a "physical" presence?
