The Buffalo Sabres last season finished in the Top 10 in goals scored with 269, which was good enough to be the eighth-highest total in the league. It was a notable improvement from the season prior when they finished with only 246.
Even with the improvement, there is a chance to be even better this upcoming season if they can generate more chances in front of the net. According to NHL EDGE, the Sabres actually led the league in shooting percentage in high-danger locations at 23.4%, more than half a percentage point higher than the rest of the league.
