They are seven points behind third-place Philadelphia and only twelve points separate the first place teams from Boston. Each game is so important. Usually there's a big margin from first to eighth. But this year there isn't. So this game tonight is paramount.
Buffalo desperately needs to rediscover their scoring touch.
The Sabres have scored just two goals in their last three games and two goals or less in six of their last eight games. Using drills that present more scoring opportunities for the forwards. This gives the forwards more room and more opportunities to shoot and score. Lindy also talked about his team's forecheck. This has been a big problem for us and is one reason for lack of scoring.
