The Buffalo Sabres began their first National Hockey League preseason with five games before the regular season opener on October 4.

The Sabres began their preseason in Chicago.

9/20: CHI 5, BUF 2; Goals- CHI: Brown, Bentley, Kaleta, Conacher, Mosienko (ENG); BUF: Bauer, Oberg; A- 11,402. Buffalo scores the first goal in the 2nd and 3rd periods, but cannot sustain constant Black Hawk pressure.

9/23: BOS 4, BUF 0; Goals- BOS: Carveth, Dumart, Henderson, Peirson; A- 6,087

A tough 3rd period for Buffalo in their first home game, as Boston was held to 1 goal in the first two periods before a 3 goal 3rd period outburst.

9/25: NYR 6, BUF 4; Goals- BUF: Kaiser, Cunliffe, Bauer (2), Brown; NYR: Kullman, Moe, Laprade, Warwick (3); A- 11,479

The Sabres led for several minutes during this game, but could not handle constant Ranger pressur at Madison Square Garden, with Grant Warwick earning a hat trick.

9/26: MON 1, BUF 1; Goals- BUF: Schriner; MON: Lach; A- 9,763

Buffalo gets their first point in preseason with a tie at the Montreal Forum. Montreal had 3 shots during the 1 minute 3 on 3 OT, but could not get one into the net.

9/28: MON 3, BUF 2; Goals- BUF: Bauer (3), Schriner (2), MON: Fillion, Peters, Maurice Richard (3); A- 6,243

Another valiant effort by the Sabres, leading 2-0 after a period, but the Canadiens surged with 3 goals in the final two periods, with Rocket Richard's goal with 5:04 left providing the winning margin.

The Sabres open up their first season in the NHL with 3 home games, October 4, 5 and 7. Chicago is first up Saturday night.
