Sabres are lost and last in Atlantic Division
When he was younger and playing out west, Jamie McGinn noticed a difference between the NHL’s conferences and divisions.
Midway through his first year with the Sabres in the Atlantic Division, McGinn has noticed his new rivals are essentially the same as his old ones.
He’s also noticed Buffalo is behind them all.
The NHL is in its second season of placing increased importance on division standing, and the Sabres are last in the eight-team Atlantic Division.
The top three will make the playoffs, with as many as two more eligible to claim a wild-card spot.
