Rivet Named Sabres Captain
(Buffalo, NY) -- The Buffalo Sabres have a new leader on the ice. Newcomer Craig Rivet has been named as captain of the team. Rivet was acquired over the summer in a trade with San Jose. Coach Lindy Ruff says the players voted on the choice, which was backed by the staff. Rivet will wear the "C" on his chest during the season opener against Montreal, one of his former teams. He spent 10 seasons skating for the Canadiens.< |
