'I feel like this next sentence deserves to be capitalized. THE SABRES HAVE ONE POWER PLAY GOAL ON THEIR LAST 25 ATTEMPTS. I'll save you the mental math -- that's an atrocious 4%. They only had one opportunity against the Stars but once again they didn't generate any chances or pressure. In a low-scoring game it would've been nice to see the power play step up and contribute … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres offense sputters in 1-0 loss to Stars

'After a long break this was a game the Sabres needed and they found a way to win.

'When the Sabres were winning, their penalty kill was lights out. These days, they can’t seem to stop anybody. On Wednesday the Flames scored twice with the man advantage — giving the Sabres three straight games when they’ve allowed their opponent to score while on the power play.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres snap losing streak, top Flames 4-3 in OT

'Although at times Beaulieu makes ugly mistakes, he has been much more consistent this season than he was in his first year with the Sabres. If it hadn't been for the emergence of rookie defenseman Lawrence Pilut, Beaulieu would likely be playing a lot more. But every time Pilut is removed from the lineup his absence is notable.' … [Read more...] about Report: Sabres Defenseman Nathan Beaulieu requests trade

'If you looked at just the scoring chances and shots on goal you probably wouldn't think this game would've played out the way it did. But costly mistakes and turnovers ultimately cost the Sabres two points against the Oilers and put them even farther behind the teams currently sitting in a playoff spot. The Sabres have had some stinkers this season and Monday against the … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Oilers topple Sabres 7-2

'It wasn't that long ago that the Sabres had the best record in the NHL [20 games ago]. Now the Sabres are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. With Montreal's win over Colorado on Saturday, the Sabres are one point behind the Canadiens and tied with the Islanders [52 points]. There is plenty of time to mount a comeback. But the Sabres are trending in the wrong … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Lightning strike late, top Sabres 5-3

'Three of Carolina’s goals on Friday evening bounced off a member of the Sabres and into their own net. To say the bounces didn’t go in the Sabres favor would be the ultimate understatement.

You usually don’t get those bounces if you aren’t outworking your opponent.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Hurricanes spoil Skinner’s return, top Sabres 4-3

'Buffalo was all over New Jersey from the start of the second, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead after just four minutes. From that point on the Sabres never looked back and spent most of the next 16 minutes generating chances. If it weren't for a couple huge saves from Kinkaid, it's not unrealistic to think the Sabres could've scored seven goals in the second.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Sabres stomp Devils 5-1 thanks to second period swarm

'This was easy. Eichel is having his best season as a pro and if he keeps producing points at his current pace, he'll be a strong candidate to win the Hart Trophy at the end of the season. In 40 games the Sabres 22-year-old captain has 15 goals and 34 assists good for 49 points.

'With their win against the Panthers, the Sabres have officially reached the halfway point of the season with 41 games played and 41 games to go. If you told most fans at the start of the season the Sabres would be 22-13-6 after 41 games I'd imagine they would've been pretty content.' … [Read more...] about 5 Observations: Skinner scores twice as Sabres top Panthers 4-3
