The Buffalo Sabres have just one win in their first five games of the season heading into a Thursday road clash against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
As disappointing as their campaign been, the Sabres have held a lead in three of their defeats, including a disappointing 6-5 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday.
