These three Sabres should be watched closely against the Rangers.
The Buffalo Sabres return to the ice on Thursday night (Nov. 7) to face off against the New York Rangers. They will look to stay hot after defeating the Ottawa Senators by a 5-1 final score in their last game.
Let's discuss three specific Sabres who fans should keep an eye on during this matchup.
Dylan Cozens
The start of the season has not been kind to Sabres forward Dylan Cozens. He has just one goal, four points, and a minus-3 rating in his first 13 games. With Cozens expected to be one of the Sabres' top stars, this kind of start is underwhelming.

Jason Zucker
Jason Zucker has been magnificent for the Sabres as of late. He has three goals and 10 points over his last 10 games. He will now aim to stay hot against the Rangers.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will be the Sabres' starter against the Rangers. He is entering this contest on fire, as he saved 37 out of 38 shots against the Sens in his last start.
