It's been a long time coming, and it'll be well worth the wait.
The Buffalo Sabres' last game was March 9, a shootout win over the Washington Capitals. Seems like yesterday, doesn't it? They'll open the 2020-21 season against those same Capitals a mere 10 months later on Thursday, January 14. It'll be here in no time.
But first: training camp, which will open this week. We'll have more information on that for you soon.
In the meantime, welcome back to Sharpen Up. Here's what you need to know.
