Jeanneret returns to Sabres’ broadcast booth 1 week after being hospitalized

Legendary Buffalo Sabres play-by-play man Rick Jeanneret is back in the broadcast booth on Saturday after he was removed from the KeyBank Center on a stretcher and was hospitalized one week ago.

Jeanneret, 76, was feeling light-headed and stopped talking during the broadcast before he was taken to the hospital.

Jeanneret started with the Sabres in 1971 and is the longest-tenured play-by-play announcer with a single team in NHL history. He is honored in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a Foster Hewitt Award winner for outstanding broadcasting.
