Minus 1 - Lack of Discipline
Before we get to the good stuff, let’s get the bad stuff out of the way. The Sabres’ lack of discipline and subsequent penalties could have been a big problem on Wednesday night. Thankfully for Buffalo, they were able to stave off the Red Wings’ power play, which was 14th in the league entering the game. Giving your opponent a whopping seven power plays is almost never going to work out in your favor.
