Sabres Release 2012-13 Schedule
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres have released the regular season schedule.
The Sabres open and close the season at home, have fewer back-to-back games, and play more Sunday games, including the Bills bye week and Super Bowl Sunday.
Meantime, the draft is just ahead, and the Sabres have two first round picks Friday night.
2010 first round pick Mark Pysyk will inch closer to starting his NHL career this fall. One of the stars of the Western Hockey League the last five years, the defensmen lead the Edmonton Oil Kings to a title this past season, finsihing the year with six goals and 32 assist. He'll likely land in Rochester to start the upcoming season.
"I think we need to project him to start in the AHL and probably play a year there, and he'll dictate that by his play, but he cirtainly had a very good year," said general manager Darcy Regier.
