Rachel Lenzi and Mike Harrington hop the boards for the latest episode of Ice Time as the Buffalo Sabres get set to take on the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals in their next two games. 

So, with 10 points after 10 games, why was Lindy Ruff in a fairly good mood? Our writers think Lindy has several reasons. This Sabres team looks closer to being a complete team than the one that took the ice last season. He had to like the competitiveness shown in their latest overtime loss, as well as the self-awareness about sluggish starts and presence in front of the net.

Plus, why the Sabres continue to carry three goaltenders, Wednesday's game at Boston and potential NHL history at KeyBank Center on Saturday, when Alex Ovechkin could go for his 900th career goal.
