Buffalo Sabres star Tage Thompson delivered a message to his team and fanbase as they work through an early resurgence.

Defenseman Mattias Samuelsson scored twice and the Buffalo Sabres snapped a five-game skid against the rival Toronto Maple Leafs with a 5-3 victory Friday night.

Jack Quinn also had a night to remember with two assists and a power-play goal, while Tyson Kozak earned praise from a basketball great.

Colten Ellis was claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Sabres Oct. 6. Wednesday night, he was impressive in his NHL debut.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander will undergo further evaluation after leaving Friday’s game against the Buffalo Sabres in the third period with an unspecified injury.

The Buffalo Sabres want to win. Allegedly. So trading their captain and number one defenseman Rasmus Dahlin simply doesn't make sense, and the party line (sensibly) is that they don't intend to trade him.

The Buffalo Sabres kick off a two-games-in-two-nights showdown against the Toronto Maple Leafs, an Atlantic Division rival that, like the Sabres, has gotten out to a mediocre start to the 2025-26 season.
