Brady Tkachuk and the Ottowa Senators take on the Buffalo Sabres in NHL preseason play on Thursday.
The preseason has been good for both the Buffalo Sabres (3-0-0) and Ottawa Senators (2-0-0) with both teams starting off undefeated. Both teams missed the playoffs last season and look to bounce back and earn their way into the postseason. That journey starts in the preseason with games like Thursday. Ottawa has played two nail-biter games to start the preseason, winning the opener in a high scoring overtime affair and then the second in a grinding defensive effort. Seven different players on Ottawa have found the net so far in the preseason, with Cole Reinhardt leading the way with two goals. They will will lean on that balanced attack again here today against Buffalo in an effort to stay undefeated.
