The Buffalo Sabres are back on the ice for training camp beginning Thursday.
While many guys are locks for the 23-man group that will open the regular season in Columbus, some spots still may be up for grabs. A couple weeks of practices, an intrasquad scrimmage and four preseason games will help shape the roster between now and Oct. 1.
