We can only hope that they share this critical intelligence with the Sabres.

Sabres are 0-17-1 when scoring 2 or fewer.

5-6-2 when scoring 3.

6-4-0 when scoring 4.

21-0-1 when scoring 5.

Sabres are 14-0-0 when allowing 2 or fewer.

12-7-1 when allowing 3.

4-7-2 when allowing 4.

2-14-1 when allowing 5.

Extreme case, but our third-best goals-for offense has a better record overcoming 5+ scored against us than when we need our sixth-worst goals against team defense and seventh-worst goaltending save percentage to bail us out when we only score 2.
