The Buffalo Sabres have experienced a strong offensive start, particularly from their top line of JJ Peterka, Tage Thompson, and Alex Tuch. However, the second line, led by Dylan Cozens, has struggled significantly.

In response, head coach Lindy Ruff has made adjustments by moving Cozens to right wing and promoting Jordan Greenway and Ryan McLeod to the second line. This shift aims to enhance Cozens' production, leveraging his previous success as a winger during the World Championships.

Meanwhile, Zach Benson is recovering from injury and is expected to return soon.
