‘The Sabres’ scoring output provides one of the most dramatic examples of that trend. Buffalo is averaging 3.78 goals per game, and is on pace for about 310 this season. Last year, the Sabres scored 281 for an average of 3.43, following 220 in 2003-04, or 2.68 per game. So in the course of a season and a half, the Sabres are scoring 1.1 goals per game more.’
