The Buffalo Sabres were saucy towards their opponents.
The Sabres created a gallery of their 2025-26 season opponents as chicken wings, Buffalo’s most famous dish, in a social media post on Tuesday.
Each opponent was dressed up as a theme pertaining to the team with a creative title on top in honor of the upcoming schedule drop.
For the Florida Panthers, the chicken wing featured a tail and whiskers drawn in sauce on the plate with the title, “Rat.”
Our schedule drops tomorrow…so here are our opponents as wings. 🧵

When it came to another Atlantic Division opponent, the Sabres threw a chirp posting a picture of a bare chicken wing for the Ottawa Senators and calling it “Plain.”

The Vegas Golden Knights wing was covered in gold sparkles and named, “The Las Vegas (Chicken) Strip.”
The Sabres referenced the TV show “The Bear” for the Chicago Blackhawks wing that featured an apron and was titled, “Yes, Chef,” a popular phrase from the show.
