Final 5v5 Game Charts

- Top line looked better tonight

- 25/23 settled down and looked good after a tough first 5-10 minutes

- Kids line 2.0 was decent again

- Nobody is looking for moral victories but this went better than I expected

Final 5v5 Game Charts

- Unacceptable performance from 72 and 89 tonight.

- Period xG chart you can see the red bar 1st period one line of players were on the ice for a big xG sequence of a few rebounds at the side of the net. It crushed their total game xG, but in 25/23 case they were +xG next 2.

Owen Power is a lightning rod player on the Buffalo Sabres. He has the opportunity now to step into a void on the blue line and prove his value.

Sabres open a four-game road trip tonight in Carolina. It's going to be a tough matchup in a place they haven't won in a long time with a depleted roster.

It's not a surprise the Sabres are scoring less at 5 on 5, but there are other areas, along with injuries, that have not made up for the regression.
Scoring rates remain an issue for the Sabres

It’s throwback Thursday and the Blues are in town.

The Sabres are still fighting injuries but these are 2 huge points for them ahead of what looks like a tough 4 game road trip.

It's another black and red night for the Sabres ⚫ 🔴

Tage Thompson usually has a slow start to the season, but it has dragged on far longer than normal this time.

- Ostlund and Rosen were really good I felt

- Lyon nice rebound game. Gave them a chance.

- Tage and Greenway...yikes

- Get 2 on Thursday.

Kesselring has only played two games but the Sabres and Mammoth have to pleased with the early returns on the two forwards in the big offseason trade.

Tonight is the first time all 3 face their old team.

Tuesday night revenge game incoming.

Peterka returns to the Buffalo.

Kesselring and Doan face their old team.

Sabres host the Caps tonight. They'll be without Zach Benson.

The Capitals have some good numbers at 5v5. Special teams is where the Sabres have the clear advantage in the numbers & the Caps can't finish so far this season.

5v5 Game Charts

- Sabres come out way ahead in the numbers. Deserved more than a point

- Lyon's worst game of the season

- third line wasn't great

- Greenway being third in 5v5 TOI among forwards in his first game is a little wild

The Sabres are in Boston tonight, looking to keep their points streak alive. It's remarkable how similar the Bruins and Sabres are in terms of their numbers.

Final 5v5 Game Charts

- Kesselring looked good in his debut

- Power and Timmins having an off night might lead to Kesselring and Power on Thursday as a pair

- I'm trying to hold back on Dahlin b/c of the offseason stuff, but we're at game 10 here.

- 4th line was excellent

Radim Mrtka was returned to the WHL after earning a look in the AHL. He's in a spot now where he'll get all of the special teams and high-stress situational minutes to continue his development.
