Goalie Robyn Lehner posts the whitewash as Deslauriers and Reinhart score the goals for Buffalo.
Nichols Deslauriers and Sam Reinhart scored in the second period to propel the Buffalo Sabres to a 2-0 preseason victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night in Marquette, MI. at Lakeview Arena, the winner of the Kraft Hockeyville contest.
Sabres coach Dan Bylsma played here himself in travel showcases as a teenager. He still recognized the banners in the rafters at Lakeview Arena. A few years ago Buffalo’s Jack Eichel came through as a member of the National Team Development Program and played against the Northern Michigan Wildcats at their home right down the street at Berry Events Center.
Gordie Howe and the Detroit Red Wings came to Marquette to play in the first outdoor game involving an NHL team against inmates at an outdoor rink at Marquette State Prison in 1956.
The Buffalo Sabres also announced the team recalled forwards Justin Bailey, Daniel Catenacci, Jean Dupuy, and Cole Schneider, and defenseman Brady Austin from the Rochester Americans.
The team has also returned Giorgio Estephan to the Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL).
The Sabres now have 37 players (21 forwards, 13 defensemen and three goaltenders) on their training camp roster.
