Griffith Makes Sabres Opening Day Roster
Wallaceburg's Seth Griffith could be lining up with some top-level NHL talent when he takes the ice with the Buffalo Sabres Thursday night.
Griffith played alongside Jack Eichel and Evander Kane to close out Buffalo's final preseason game against the New York Islanders Friday night -- he also practiced on a line with Eichel and Kane on Sunday.
The 24-year-old signed a one-year deal with Buffalo on July 1, 2017 after spending the last three seasons bouncing back and forth between the NHL and the AHL with Boston, Toronto, and Florida.
The Sabres will open their season against the Montreal Canadiens at 7pm Thursday.
