The Columbus Blue Jackets host the young, pesky Buffalo Sabres tonight.

Tonight at Nationwide Arena the Columbus Blue Jackets host one of the more intriguing teams in the NHL. The young Buffalo Sabres come into town with the number one draft pick from this summer’s entry draft and some new faces picked up in free agency and trades.

Before the game I talked with both Rob Berger and Jacob Strozyk of SabreNoise.com. These guys are pumping out great content about one of the NHL’s most interesting teams of the 2018-2019 season. These insiders gave us a great look at some of the new faces on the Sabres, predictions on the game and wing recommendations.

Thanks again to both Jacob and Robert to talking with us. Be sure to follow Jacob on Twitter and Rob as well as read all of their good work at SabreNoise.com.
