Sabres without coaches for tonight’s game!

Again. When it rains, it pours in Buffalo. 

It has just been announced that the Sabres won’t have interim head coach Don Granato and assistant Matt Ellis behind the bench for tonight’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They are both unavailable due to COVID protocols and are self isolating in accordance with the NHL's COVID-19 protocols.

General manager Kevyn Adams will take over coaching duties tonight. 

"In accordance with NHL COVID-19 Protocols, interim head coach Don Granato and interim assistant coach Mark Ellis are self-isolating and are unavailable  for tonight’s game in Pittsburgh. General manager Kevyn Adams will be on the bench tonight and will serve as head coach for the game. Adams will address the media on Zoom at 5:30 p.m," read a statement from the team.

We can say without hesitation that the Sabres are truly cursed this season. Last night, they were handed another loss at the hands of the Penguins : * their 15-game losing streak is the longest in the salary cap era.
