'With 26 games left to play the 2018-2019 Sabres have already surpassed their point total from last season. Whether that says more about this years team or last years team remains to be seen.

'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.
