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.
