The Buffalo Sabres played their second game of a 56-game 2021 season last night, Jan. 15. Once again, Buffalo faced the Washington Capitals and once again they lost in regulation.

However, this loss wasn’t like the first one on Thursday. The Sabres actually played well this game and arguably outplayed the Capitals as they outshot them 31-21, won 52% of the faceoffs and had zero penalties.
