T&C applyThe Sabres have won eight of their last 10 games, but three of those wins came in overtime and their last three victories required some dramatic comebacks.
Additionally, Buffalo’s statistical profile isn’t all that encouraging of late. The Sabres are averaging 2.85 goals for and 2.11 goals against per 60 minutes at 5-on-5 over their last 10 games, but their expected goals data paints a different picture. Buffalo is generating 2.33 xGF per 60 minutes and conceding 2.84 xGA/60 in that same span. Buffalo also ranks 29th in the NHL in high-danger scoring chance rate over their last 10 games.
Buffalo does have some serious offensive talent, so maybe the team will continue to finish its chances at a robust clip, but it’s hard to imagine the goaltending will be this good for the second half. Craig Anderson has been terrific in 14 games, but he’s the oldest player in the league, so it’s fair to expect some regression.
