The Buffalo Sabres kicked off their training camp with an intense first practice, marked by the return of head coach Lindy Ruff. However, the session was overshadowed by the injury of star defenseman Rasmus Dahlin, who exited the ice with an undisclosed injury and is currently being evaluated. Despite the setback, Sabres GM Kevyn Adams expressed optimism about the team's potential as playoff contenders. As the camp progresses, Ruff focuses on establishing accountability and structure within the team. The Sabres have high expectations this season, aiming to overcome past challenges and improve under Ruff's guidance.
