The #Sabres could use some help from Toronto against the Canes. So here goes nothing… Go, Leafs, Go!!!

The #Sabres have now outscored their opponents 11-1 on this perfect 3 game road trip.

With 5 goals in 8 games since joining the team, Sam Carrick has led the #Sabres in goal scoring since he was acquired at the trade deadline. #InJarmoWeTrust

The #Sabres since December 9th (now officially half of a season - 41 games): 33-6-2 (.829 points%) 158 goals for 98 goals against WAGON

Islanders lose in regulation. That means the #Sabres Magic Number to make the playoffs is now…

With a Magic Number of 14 and the possibility to reduce it by 4 points with every game (if the team in 9th loses their game), the #Sabres could clinch the playoffs as early as next Saturday at home against the Kraken.

Current Magic Numbers: Make Playoffs = 14 1st Round Home Ice Advantage = 19 Win Division = 25 Top Seed in the East = 27 (Combination of points earned by BUF and points lost by other teams)

The NHL officially began tracking on ice goals for and against in 2009. Over that time, the defenseman with the least amount of even strength goals against in a season with at least 30 games played is Zach Metsa this season. Metsa has only been on the ice for 3 EV GA in 37 gms.

With the point for getting to OT, the #Sabres Magic Number to make the playoffs is now…

All Magic Numbers: Make Playoffs = 13 1st Round Home Ice Advantage = 18 Win Division = 23 Top Seed in the East = 26 (Combination of points earned by BUF and points lost by other teams)

Detroit is now the team with the 9th most possible points at 106 and they could still catch BUF in regulation wins (however unlikely), so the #Sabres Magic Number to make the playoffs is now…

All Magic Numbers: Make Playoffs = 12 1st Round Home Ice Advantage = 18 Win Division = 23 (can drop to 21 if TB loses in regulation tonight) Top Seed in the East = 24 (Combination of points earned by BUF and points lost by other teams)

The streak is alive! 28 straight games with a lead at some point in the game. Unbelievable.

Another point closer… With the point for getting to OT tonight, the Sabres Magic Number to reach the playoffs is now… 🐐

All Magic Numbers go down by 1 tonight Make Playoffs = 11 1st Round Home Ice Advantage = 17 Win Division = 22 Top Seed in the East = 23 (Combination of points earned by BUF and points lost by other teams)

#Sabres this season with Zach Metsa in the lineup: 29-5-4 (.816) Without Metsa in the lineup: 15-15-4 (.500)
