Matt Mackenzie gets drafted by Sabres

Hitmen defenceman Matt Mackenzie was drafted 83rd overall in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres.

Mackenzie will likely be back on the blue line next fall for the Hitmen as he will be leaned upon much more with the departure of Co-Captain Michael Stone.

Mackenzie joins a long list of Hitmen to be drafted into the NHL.
