Zach Benson earning opportunity to be on the Buffalo Sabres first line with Tage Thompson
Zach Benson is getting a look on the first line with Tage Thompson and Josh Norris to start the preseason and he impressed versus the Columbus Blue Jackets. Benson had the highlight of the night with a great behind the back pass and his line dominated every time they were on the ice. Is Benson going to run with this chance to play up top in a much bigger role? How many minutes might he play in the regular season?
Plus, Konsta Helenius is impressing this preseason, but is there any way the Sabres would put another teenager on the roster, even if he earns it? And the Sabres goal song vote is down to five songs!

I liked how the Sabres played, but seeing they had AHL calibre opponents was unsettling. I was expecting a 5-1 win. In reality, the Sabres did have a lot of great chances. If they capitalized on their scoring chances they would have had a 4 or 5 goal performance. This was really the team gelling together with their new tm8s and a long offseason. All in all they played very well. Helenius was back on the ice but I hope he is ok with that puck to the face. NOTE: Benson was faster due to the mini donut cutback.
