Former Sabres star forward Rick Martin has died at age 59. The team announced Martin's death in a statement Sunday before its home game against the Senators. New York State Police said Martin died in a one-car crash earlier in the day in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence. Police say an autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. "Rick was not only one of the greatest players in franchise history, he was a great friend to the Sabres organization and the entire community," the team said in its announcement.
