The Buffalo Sabres may have had their fair share of struggles on the ice in recent years, but the club does have several promising and talented young players that may help them evolve into a playoff contender in the near future.

Since fans in the city are fiercely loyal to their team, it only makes sense that many of them also love hockey cards and back on March 5, the first 10,000 people coming through the gates during the game against the Minnesota Wild received a five-card pack courtesy of Upper Deck and Dave & Adam’s Card World featuring some of the club’s best along with a voucher for a Jack Eichel card.

How can a collector that was at the game obtain a card of one of the hottest rookies to ever play in Buffalo? By going to a Dave & Adam’s Card World location in Williamsville, NY or Tonawanda, NY on March 12 and 13, they can exchange the voucher to receive their specially-created Eichel Young Guns card featuring the store’s logo.

Collectors should note that supplies of this exclusive Young Guns card, which features the image from the UD Canvas card originally found in packs of 2015-16 Upper Deck Series One Hockey, are only available while supplies last. There is a strict limit of one Eichel card per person as Dave & Adam’s wishes to see that every customer gets an opportunity to receive their card.

The other five cards which were handed out at the game featured Sam Reinhart, Zemgus Girgensons, Ryan O’Reilly, Evander Kane, and Rasmus Ristolainen. While the Sabres lost 3-2 in a shootout, Eichel scored a goal and added an assist.
