“I’m running out on the field today to grab the kickoff tee, so hopefully I don’t trip,” Benson joked in a social media video.
His new mohawk even got a compliment from Bills offensive lineman Spencer Brown.
When the time came, Benson jogged out onto the field, looking like a pro, to grab the tee. No trips.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Konsta Helenius joined Benson at Sunday’s game.
Benson and the Sabres will move back to the ice on Tuesday when they host the Minnesota Wild (7 p.m. ET; MINNHL, Wild+, MSG-B).
