Sabres at Canadiens preview: The nevernding quest for offense

The Sabres look to turn their losing streak around at home tonight versus the Canadiens.

Game #56

Puck Drop: 7:00 pm EST | First Niagara Center | Buffalo, NY

Three Questions

1. Which period will be the awful one tonight?

In their previous two games, the Sabres gave up three goals in a first period, and four goals in a second period. Advanced math tells us they should give up five in the third tonight, then six in overtime in their next game.

2. Who will step up on offense?

Last night, it seemed like only Jack Eichel and Justin Bailey could make anything happen on offense, with seven shots apiece.
