Walking through the hallway outside the dressing rooms at KeyBank Center Wednesday morning felt a bit like walking through a class reunion. Look one way, and you could find Marco Scandella and Jason Pominville catching up with members of the Minnesota Wild. Look the other, and there was Tyler Ennis and Marcus Foligno talking to their old Sabres teammates.
With pleasantries out of the way, all four players will set their friendships and memories aside when the Sabres and Wild meet for the first time this season on Wednesday night.
"We've got to keep the focus on what we have to do, but it is nice to see the guys," Pominville said. "Obviously good memories, a good group of guys. We went through a lot together so it was nice to have a chance to catch up with some of them."
