The entire sports world is rallying behind Damar Hamlin, safety for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, who suffered cardiac arrest following a hit in Monday’s game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Ahead of their tilt against the Washington Capitals at Capital One Arena, the Buffalo Sabres honored Hamlin with special shirts.
As they headed towards the locker room, players donned “Love For 3” shirts, Hamlin’s number with the Bills.
