In today’s NHL, taking advantage of Power Play opportunities is extremely important. For most teams, over 20% of their goals during the season are scored with a man-advantage. The 2013-14 season saw the Buffalo Sabres finish almost dead last in Power Play rankings. Since then, the team has seen a marked improvement, ranking 12th in the league last year, thanks largely to the play of Ryan O’Reilly, Jack Eichel and Rasmus Ristolainen. With the addition of forward Kyle Okposo, who ranked 31st in the league last year in Power Play points, as well as the continued net-front presence of Sam Reinhart, one would expect the Sabres to continue climbing.
