With 1.94 expected goals per game, the Buffalo Sabres continue to spin their wheels offensively.
Looking at the four lines that Ralph Krueger rolls out on a nightly basis, it is clear that this just is not working.
How does someone fix the scoring issues? Simple. Think outside the box and get a little creative.
The first player you can get creative with is forward Victor Olofsson.
In 76 career NHL games, Victor Olofsson has scored 29 goals. Not a bad development for a Sabres team that has struggled to score, right?
Diving in deeper, it is becoming clear that Olofsson’s performance might be a microcosm of a bigger issue.
