Sharpen Up: December 5, 2022 | Sabres look to keep up offensive output

The Sabres are 3-2-1 over their last six games after a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Sunday at KeyBank Center.
Their next game is Wednesday night in Columbus. Catch that game on TNT. Dan Dunleavy and Rob Ray will call the action on WGR 550 at 7:30 p.m.
Here's what you need to know.

Last week's big story

The offense has certainly been clicking recently. The Sabres have scored at least four goals in five of their past six games. Through 25 games, they're second in the NHL In goals with 95, just three behind Dallas.
In four games last week, Dylan Cozens led the team with nine points (4+5), including back-to-back three-point efforts on Thursday and Sunday.
He became the fourth Sabres skater aged 21 or younger to record three or more points in consecutive games, according to @SabresPR. Dave Andreychuk (February 8 to 9, 1984), Gilbert Perreault (December 19 to 23, 1971) and Pierre Turgeon (October 13 to 17, 1990) also accomplished the feat with Buffalo.
Six Sabres - Cozens, Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner, Rasmus Dahlin, and Cozens' linemates Jack Quinn and JJ Peterka - are all currently riding four-game point streaks heading into Wednesday's contest.

The games ahead

Following Wednesday's game, the team will prep for a home-and-home series against the Penguins that begins Friday in Buffalo. They'll then face Pittsburgh at PPG Paints Arena on Saturday.
Both games are scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

What else to watch for this week

Buffalo will wear either their new third jerseys or their Reverse Retro jerseys for their remaining home games in December.
Here is the team's home jersey schedule to close out the calendar year:
Tickets for all home games are on sale now.
The team will also wear their Reverse Retros on the road during that time. They'll wear their blue and gold goatheads in Columbus on December 27.
