Buffalo Sabres Inagural Prospect Challenge roster and schedule

Reprinted with permission from hockeybuzz.com


The inaugural Buffalo Sabres Prospects challenge is set to get underway with practices today and games beginning tomorrow.

 

Buffalo had been a part of the Traverse City Tournament, which is hosted by the Detroit Red Wings, since 2011 but with the completion and opening of HARBORCENTER downtown next to the First Niagara Center the team decided to strike out on it's own. Prospects from the New Jersey Devils and rival Boston Bruins will be headed to downtown Buffalo to take on the Sabres prospects.

 

The three teams will play a round-robin format over the course of three days at both HARBORCENTER and the First Niagara Center. The tournament allows the organization, as well as the players themselves, the opportunity to see how they stack up against their peers in an NHL setting.

 

Tickets for each game are $10.
