‘What gives me pause about the Sabres is that they’re clearly a one-line show at this point. Eichel, Skinner and Jason Pominville have accounted for 47 percent of the Sabres’ goals this season; as a line, they’re rocking a relative goals-for percentage of 27.68 at 5-on-5, which is extraordinary. The good news is that sometimes all you need is one great line to make the playoffs, as any Colorado Avalanche fan circa last spring will tell you. The bad news is that a slump or an injury on that line — Eichel hasn’t played 80 games since his rookie campaign, and Skinner has a concussion history — could knock the season off its rails.’
Will the surprising Sabres make the playoffs this season?
