‘Buffalo is one of the few teams that can match Ottawa in special teams efficiency. The Sabres ranked third in the 30-team NHL on the power play (Ottawa was fourth) and second in penalty killing (Ottawa was fourth) in the regular season. The Senators were 8-for-24 (33.3 percent) on the power play in their first-round series against Tampa Bay, but aren’t likely to be as potent against the Sabres.’
