AHL Coach Seth Appert Steps in for Ill Sabres' Head Coach Don Granato

Despite Inexperienced Staff, Sabres Secure Victory Against Blue Jackets

Sabres' head coach Don Granato was unable to coach due to illness, leading to AHL coach Seth Appert stepping in.
Despite the coaching staff's inexperience, the Sabres managed to secure a 3-2 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Appert's appointment over Granato's assistants suggests a lack of confidence in the latter's ability to lead the team.
Granato's illness has raised concerns due to his previous diagnosis with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2005.
The Sabres are set to play at Ottawa, with Appert remaining as coach.
