The Buffalo Sabres picked up a 5-3 road win over the Winnipeg Jets on March 23. Sabres goalie James Reimer was a major reason for it, as the veteran netminder stopped 33 out of 36 Jets shots.

WGR also aired Buffalo Sabres games and took great lengths to hype the young franchise. Pegula was hooked by morning disc jockey Stan Roberts and an inescapable, jaunty novelty song.
