114: Lindy Ruff on Building Depth and Breaking Buffalo’s Playoff Drought

Buffalo Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff joins John Shannon and Daren Millard on 100% Hockey to talk about navigating a tough stretch early in the season. Ruff provides updates on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen’s recovery and possible conditioning stint in Rochester, while praising Devin Levi’s continued development and value as organizational depth. He also discusses the return of Mattias Samuelsson and how the group is managing injuries through a demanding schedule.

The conversation shifts to life in Buffalo — from the city’s pull on players to Ruff’s determination to end the Sabres’ long playoff drought and bring postseason hockey back to Western New York.
