The previous stretch of five games ending in mid-November saw the Buffalo Sabres go 2-2-1, but the performances were quite dross across the board.
The stars of the period Games 13-17 were Evander Kane (3.80), Benoit Pouliot (3.56) and Ryan O’Reilly (3.51). The goats were (no surprises), the same as last time around! The Power Play unit climbed up two spots to be third worst (1.61), Matt Tennyson (1.53) dropped a spot and Matt Moulson (1.37) is the absolute pits right now.
The games started coming thick and fast in the last fortnight, and the Sabres’ fortunes plummeted, with Buffalo going a poor 1-6-1.
