GDT: Winnipeg Jets at Buffalo Sabres, 12/1/25, 7:30pm EST on MSG & ESPN+ 📺

[Porous Five Hole]

Right back at it.  Yes that’s a 7:30 home start. 

Fourth game in six nights for the Sabres (10-11-4). The Jets (13-11-0) are also on their fourth game in six nights, and tonight is the fourth stop on a five-game road trip for Winnipeg. 
 

Both teams will hold a morning skate, so stay tuned for line-up information (Joshua Norris, Jordan Greenway, Colten Ellis, etc). 
 

This may be an Eric Comrie revenge game as Connor Charles Hellebuyck is on IR after knee surgery. 
 

Tage Nathaniel Thompson leads the Sabres in goal scoring with 12 goals and nine assists. Alex Daniel Tuch leads the team in points (8G 14A for 22PTS). Joshua Thomas Doan has four goals and three assists over the past ten games. As a team, the Sabres shooting percentage is 10.34%, good for 19th in the league.

Kyle David Connor has 12 goals and 17 assists for the Jets. Mark Scheifele leads the team in points (13G 18A for 31 PTS). Defenseman Joshua Morrissey has three goals and eight assists over the last ten games. As a team, the Jets shooting percentage is 11.85%, good for eighth in the league.

Last ten games as a team:

Sabres: 5-5-0, averaging 3.4 goals while giving up 3.4 goals per game.

Jets: 4-6-0, averaging 2.9 goals while giving up 3.3 goals per game.

Let’s Go!

[#freejame]

I thought about going tonight until I saw the 7:30 start. Seems like there’s been a lot of these this year. I’m no fan. Go Sabres. 

[OverPowerYou]

Just like the last 150 times over the last 4 years. They drag me back in just to lose in embarrassing fashion

Back in the day they always started at 7:30.  For me in the central time zone it gives a bit more time to finish up with work, walk the dog and pick up dinner.

Hopefully the return of Norris.  

Hopefully he gives us at least 2 games this time before going back to IR.

I only just learned Amazon Prime has an NHL package in Canada only. Tonight's game is part of their Monday Night Prime schedule. Probably why the game starts at 7:30. You can watch the Prime telecast if you have ESPN+.

Going to my first game of the year BECAUSE of the 730 start. 730 start lets you grab some food and drinks beforehand without feeling squeezed.

I'm feeling pretty good about them winning 2 in a row.

Finished up our Stranger Things rewatch and the 4 new episodes so don't have anything planned but watching this tonight. Really hope for a fun game but this team shows all the inconsistency that the least experienced team in the league would.

Holy hell, what's with the middle names? I feel like I'm reading a crime report from Kentucky.

 

[matter2003]

are they trying to play all their home games before February?

I’d have to move back to Nashville if they went back to 8PM puck drops. Someday I’m sure my children will be grown and I’ll be able to stay awake past 930.

Really. I guess maybe if we win enough at home early our usual late season run can win us some road games. 🤷‍♀️

Impossible.  None of the middle names are Lee or Wayne.

I assume you are too young for the original airing of the final episode, 1983.  

[LGR4GM]

We got UPL in the starters net and Norris between Benson and Tage at the morning skate.
