Sabres one of just 6 teams perfect when leading after 2

[dudacek]

Seeing quite a few posts about the Sabres blowing too many leads since the Detroit and Tampa games.

They are a perfect 9-0-0 when leading after 2 periods, tied with Winnipeg and the Islanders. Dallas is 12-0-0, Boston 13-0-0, Columbus 3-0-0.

In general, NHL teams don’t protect leads like they used to. In fact, teams have blown 2nd intermission leads 50 times already this year. Toronto, PIttsburgh and Vancouver have done it 4 times each.

League is changing.
