‘Gionta, as Bylsma noted, is hardly alone with his offensive struggles. The Sabres have scored only 87 goals in 38 games, just 2.29 a contest. The NHL’s fourth-lowest total puts them at a 188-goal pace. For some perspective, that would be the third-lowest full-season total in franchise history after an NHL-record low 150-goal 2013-14 season and an anemic 154-goal campaign last year.’
