The Buffalo Sabres won just five of 14 games in the month of December. They struggled to string together wins, unable to win more than one game in a row in the month.
Undoubtedly, the Buffalo Sabres now look to the month of January – and the year of 2016 overall – to be a stronger one.
The Sabres face 12 games against 11 teams in the month of January, a schedule that includes just five home games at First Niagara Center.
Heading into the month of January, the Sabres have gone 8-11-2 at home. While that’s certainly not the worst they could do, there’s still plenty of room for improvement.
