Strategy and poor execution causing penalty kill struggles

The special teams for the Buffalo Sabres have let them down so far this season. The poor penalty kill and power play have arguably cost the Sabres a few games to this point.

I’m going to save the power play that has gone 1 for 21 in the last four games for another day. Today my focus will be on the penalty kill that’s tied for the fourth-worst kill percentage (69.6%) in the league entering play tonight.

Last season, the penalty kill was an issue for this team as well. They finished ranked 22 in the NHL with a 77.
