The matchup Saturday is the first meeting of the season for the two teams. Sabres Injuries: None listed. Devils Injuries: Cory Schneider: day to day (undisclosed). Sabres preparing to face 'dangerous' New Jersey Devils in home opener By Lance Lysowski The Buffalo News October 4, 2019 The seats inside KeyBank Center were empty when Ralph Krueger arrived in Buffalo for his first official day of work in June. The Sabres' new coach delivered an impassioned speech to team employees and spoke glowingly of the passionate fan base during his introductory news conference with the media. Krueger expressed excitement for the challenge ahead and the privilege of coaching a franchise that was held in high regard by friends and former colleagues, including Miroslav Satan and Uwe Krupp. Yet, Krueger wasn't interested in focusing on the past, specifically why the Sabres' playoff drought reached a National Hockey League-worst eight seasons.

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips February 2, 2021 Devils shut down by Covid-19 outbreak after back-to-back games in Buffalo By Mike Harrington The Buffalo News February 1, 2021 Aday after completing a two-game series against the Buffalo Sabres in KeyBank Center, the New Jersey Devils have had their training facility in Newark shut down by the NHL because of a Covid-19 outbreak. The league announced Monday afternoon that 10 Devils players are now on the team's Covid protocol list, and five of them appeared in games against the Sabres. As a result, the Devils' games have been postponed through at least Saturday. The Devils, led by former Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff, headed to Pittsburgh after Sunday's 5-3 win here, but were then sent home by league officials. Their games with the Penguins on Tuesday and Thursday have been postponed, as has Saturday's home game against the New York Rangers. The earliest they will play is Feb. 9 against Pittsburgh. Their next meetings with the Sabres are Feb. 20 and 22 in Prudential Center. The NHL said it is reviewing and revising the team's schedule. The league's protocol list does not differentiate between positive tests, players listed as close contacts or players serving required quarantines. Goaltender Aaron Dell has been on the list while quarantining after being claimed on waivers from Toronto. Goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood went on the list Jan. 22 and remains out. Veteran center Travis Zajac was added to the list Saturday and did not appear against the Sabres, and veteran winger Kyle Palmieri played here Saturday and then was sidelined for Sunday's game due to Covid protocols.
