The young and surprising Buffalo Sabres have taken their fair share of lumps in the month of December. After an incredible run in November, the team has battled injuries, mediocre special teams, and a woeful representation of depth scoring to struggle to stay afloat in the Atlantic Division. Of these, it is perhaps depth scoring that has bitten the team the hardest; Buffalo’s first line has accounted for 44 percent of the Sabres’ total goals and 41 percent of overall points. It’s great to see the line burning white-hot, the team has lost a lot of close games in which a goal from the bottom six could have certainly changed the outcome.
