The Buffalo Sabres have concerning injuries to Owen Power and others going into their first game
Owen Power, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Michael Kesselring, Jordan Greenway, Zach Benson, and others are all banged up going into the Buffalo Sabres 2025-26 regular season. With a game coming in just days, just how depleted are the Sabres going to be? Of the injuries, the Sabres could really use Owen Power who is going to be close to playing on Thursday against the New York Rangers. Can the Sabres survive without their second defense pairing available to them?
UPL’s injury means another new goalie on the scene as the Sabres have claimed Colten Ellis off waivers. Sneaky Joe breaks down the Ellis claim which could be a nice little move for the Sabres behind Alex Lyon. Plus, why Connor McDavid’s new contract could bring the new NHL marketplace down to where it’s been in recent years.

Lol good team? No they're not even close to a good team. And please tell me anyone that's not local who's talking positive about the Sabres cuz Every serious NHL podcast/Reporter is not only saying the EXACT opposite of what you're saying but laughing at the team.
The Sabres have zero, zilch, nada, nothing at all to stand on when it comes to negotiations with Tuch. They should be thanking him and paying him MORE.
Trade Power for a bag of pucks at this point.
Play Ryan Johnson for crying out loud!!!!!!
Im in southern Ontario, 45 mins east of the Sewage pit aka Toronto and Im impressed that you are wearing a Blue Jays hat but wont you get beaten up wearing that hat in the state of New York😅 , as arent most people in western NY Yankee fans or are you a Blue Jays fan because Buffalo is Toronto's farm club?
I think you're looking too much into practice pairings… the 3rd pairing is probably Johnson and Bryson… but for practice, they split them so they didn't have 2 forwards together…
Loving the hat Joe! GO JAYS!
Are the Sabres going to be fragile this season ? 🤔
The biggest issue I had all offseason was that the roster was constructed with way too many injury-prone guys, an injured at the end of the season Power, and little to no depth on the blueline. Well here we are, and they are lucky that this early season schedule was so tailor-made for them.
Can't even believe that the entire off season was about getting better defensively and we are going into the season with absolute dog shit for defensive pairings…I'm calling it now Dahlin will leave after we miss the playoffs for another year….Thompson and everybody else will follow him away from the Sabres, and we'll have to start another rebuild. Adams won't get fired because for some reason he's untouchable.
Call up komarov to be the third pair on the right side with Johnson. Were screwed either way but I would rather see what komarov can than see Jacob Bryson again
