The future is bright in Buffalo.
Jack Eichel, Sam Reinhart, and Hudson Fasching, all key pieces in general manager Tim Murray's rebuilding plans, combined to make Sabres history during Saturday's game against Winnipeg.
All three forwards scored in the 3-2 comeback win over the Jets, marking the first time in franchise history that three different rookies accounted for all of Buffalo's goals in a single game, according to NHL public relations.
For Fasching, it was his first at the NHL level after signing with the Sabres out of the University of Minnesota less than a week ago. It's kind of becoming an old habit for Eichel and Reinhart at this point, however, as both have already eclipsed the 20-goal mark, now with 23 and 21 respectively.
With 72 points through 75 games, the Sabres have already improved by 18 points in the standings over last season, and at this time next year, they could very well be talking playoffs in Buffalo.
