Sabres lose 4-2.

Another melee. Zach Benson and Andrew Peeke kind of fought w/their gloves on. Tage Thompson almost fought two guys.
Started when Nikita Zadorov knocked down Benson. Wasn't necessary.

“He’s evolved into a real solid, good, two-way defenseman. Can play against anybody, can be physical, can score goals.”
