Coming off a white-hot November, there was little the Buffalo Sabres could do to ruin their own momentum.
Unfortunately, with December in the books, we now know that the Sabres did everything in their power to do just that.
In December, Buffalo failed to re-create any magic from their incredible November run.
A 13 game swing that could have further propelled the Sabres into a playoff position turned into a mediocre 4-6-3 record.
Buffalo began the month of December with a nine-point lead over the first team out. Heading into January, that lead has fallen to two points.
