The Chicago Blackhawks fell 9–3 to the Buffalo Sabres Friday night in what was easily the worst loss of the season. Honestly, just pretend your TV accidentally shut off and never think about this again.
The Sabres opened the scoring at 13:57 of the first. Tage Thompson sent a slick pass to a wide open Josh Doan in front and he tucked it through the backdoor on his second attempt to make it 1-0 Sabres.

The Blackhawks hopped on a plane after losing to the Kraken last night and headed to Buffalo, where they’ll play the one road game in a stretch of eight of nine at the United Center. The Sabres will be waiting for them with hopes of getting right; they’re 2-5-1 in their last eight games and gave up six goals to the Flames on Wednesday night (yikes!).
The second half of a back-to-back with travel in the middle is always tough. With André Burakovsky not available, and the Blackhawks not hav...

A fortuitous back-to-back arrives on the schedule for the Hawks this week, giving the team a chance to quickly dispense of the unpleasantries from Thursday night when it ventures to Buffalo to face the Sabres on Friday.
Buffalo hasn’t been to the playoffs since 2011 and doesn’t appear any closer to bucking that trend this season because it currently sits 29th in the league standings roughly one-quarter of the way through this season. The Sabres don’t do much of anything well: they’re 24th...

After so many top NHL pending unrestricted free agents have re-upped with their teams, Alex Tuch stands to be one of the biggest names available if he makes it to UFA status. And after so many of those aforementioned extensions came in in the $10M to $12M AAV range, Tuch knows what his value would be on the open market as one of the lone top guns. But it doesn't sound like the Buffalo Sabres are reading the room. Per insider Pierre LeBrun in The Athletic , they haven't gotten ...
