Buffalo closed out their preseason slate with a 4-2 win in Ottawa on Friday and in that victory, we got a look at a line combination that could start the season together. Jack Eichel was between Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart, and the results were fruitful. Kane and Reinhart each picked up and goal and an assist, and Eichel added an assist as well.
They spent some time together last year before Kane sustained an injury and they were able to rekindle some of that chemistry Friday.
Eichel after the game:
"We had some success when we played the right way. We obviously had some more success tonight. I mean, backchecking, stripping pucks, that's our game. Forechecking, going to the net. We were rewarded and that's how we're going to have to play."
Robin Lehner made 30 saves and Grant potted a shorthanded goal. Here's the video recap.
