Zach Benson's Preseason Performance Impresses Buffalo Sabres

Buffalo Sabres forwards Zach Benson and Brandon Biro strengthened their cases to make the team's roster during a preseason game against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Biro took a puck to the face but returned to the game wearing a full face shield, impressing with his play. Meanwhile, Benson, the Sabres' top pick in the 2023 draft, assisted on the tying goal and scored the game-winner on the power play. Both players are vying for a spot on the opening-night roster, with Benson showcasing his speed, skill, competitiveness, and hockey sense, while Biro's versatility, experience, and ability on the penalty kill make him a strong contender.
