Sabres Keep Pressing, Scoreboard Says Otherwise
High volume and a night of missed chances leave Buffalo searching for a break as the third winds down
By MA Insights
Buffalo has owned the shot attempts — 52-33 and 61.2% of the attempts — yet the Stars lead 4-0. Expected goals are dead even at 2.13–2.13, and Buffalo’s power play is 0-for-3. Lots of looks but not enough to finish; pressure hasn’t translated to the scoreline late.
