3 Takeaways from the Sabres’ 5-3 Win Over the Canucks

Despite losing a sloppy 5-1 decision to the Columbus Blue Jackets, spirits were still high when it comes to the Buffalo Sabres fan base. Then again, that’s generally what happens when you rip off a 10-game winning streak. That being said, a response on Tuesday night against the Vancouver Canucks was absolutely as important as each of those 10 wins.

With the power play struggling, the Sabres hoped to get a boost from the return of Jason Zucker. Though he didn’t have a point, the boost was felt and the Sabres jumped out to a 4-0 lead, managing to hold on for a 5-3 win over the Canucks.

The Thompson/Doan Duo is Fantastic

There has been a lot to love about the way the Sabres have been playing lately but perhaps the best of the best is the way the duo of Tage Thompson and Josh Doan have been playing on the top line. While it would be nice to see Noah Ostlund back on the top line, it is hard to ask for more than what Thompson and Doan have been doing.
