Ryan McLeod scored three goals for his first career hat trick and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Carolina Hurricanes 4-2.

The Sabres haven’t found the right partner for Power since he was drafted first overall in 2021 and arrived in the NHL in March 2022.

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff swapped Ryan McLeod and Dylan Cozens atop the lineup during the win over the Hurricanes, a move that paid immediate dividends with both players scoring goals on their new lines.

The Buffalo Sabres are on the brink of allowing their playoff drought to continue into its 14th season, despite rebuild after rebuild. First, there was the “tank for Connor McDavid”, but they failed at that and ended up with Jack Eichel instead.

The Buffalo Sabres have been struggling to do much of anything to the halfway point of this season. They have a record of 17-22-5, which is good for being last in the Eastern Conference and 29th overall in the NHL.

The Sabres are 16-22-5, and they have only 12 regulation wins through 43 games, while their 37 points are fourth-fewest among the NHL's 32 teams. Coach Lindy Ruff wants to see his players change their mindset.

"The losing culture that has permeated this organization for the past 14 years won’t change if the plan is to wait for these young players to figure it out on their own," writes Lance Lysowski.
