‘The 10-game winning streak aside, the Sabres haven’t met expectations. A big reason for that is the coaching. Housley doesn’t seem to have an answer for why his team’s defensive unit continues to struggle. The Sabres have allowed 3.12 goals against per game, the 11th-highest total in the NHL. They have also given up 32.4 shots against per game, the ninth-highest total in the league.’
