A lot of things went wrong for the Buffalo Sabres in the first two games of the season in Prague against the New Jersey Devils, suffering two defeats, losing Zach Benson and J.J. Peterka to injuries, and the residual problems that caused with line shuffling. But Lindy Ruff refuses to let the team use these issues as an excuse.

“We’re going to find out more and more about the group,” said Ruff. “Adversity is something that can make your team a lot stronger.

“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, but we’ve got to take this as a challenge right now.”
