Plus 1 | Power Play Improvement
While the Sabres have, historically, struggled on the power play for many years, it seems to really be the elephant in the room in these first few games of this season. To be honest, the stars have actually been aligned for success against Washington this weekend (remember, they are facing a shaky new goaltender and the Caps are without a few of their top scorers), but Buffalo has been coming up short in front of the net.
