Alright, before anyone jumps down my throat: I’m well aware that it’s only November, and that the Sabres are preparing to play their 22nd game of the season tomorrow against the Philadelphia Flyers. But with their recent success, including a six-game winning streak heading into Wednesday evening, it’s admittedly hard to keep the thought of ‘playoffs’ out of my mind.
Too early to start thinking this? Maybe. But let’s look at the numbers.
Through 21 games, the Sabres have gone 13-6-2 with 28 points. They hold the third spot in the Atlantic Division. The Maple Leafs is the best team in the conference with 30 points and a record of 15-5-0.
