‘Granato will begin his second full season as Sabres head coach when the 2022-23 season begins on Thursday. He joined the organization as an assistant coach prior to the 2019-20 season and was promoted to interim head coach in March 2021 when the Sabres fired Ralph Kruger. He coached 28 games to finish out the season and the team went 9-16-3 but made strides in the right direction.’
