One of the concerns going into this season for the Buffalo Sabres was if they added enough offense to their roster. They struggled to generate quality scoring chances for the majority of last season at 5 on 5.
At the beginning of the season, it looked like they improved in this area, but over the last few weeks, the problem has resurfaced. The scoring has dried up at even strength and they’ve hit their first losing streak of the season.
Last season, the Sabres were at the bottom of the league in shot quality at 5 on 5 and through 15 games this season they find themselves in a similar place.
