'Last year it was mildly frustrating to watch the Sabres get dominated in overtime. This year it’s flat out inexcusable. The NHL’s 3-2-1 point system makes it so the 5 minute overtime and shootout are worth just as much as the 60 minutes that come before it. With that in mind, I want my team to be the best at it.

'Starting with the overtime goal in Calgary, Reinhart has been turning the puck over a lot. Bylsma said, “We have six goals in one game and four in the other three games.
