NHL Power Rankings: Eastern Conference Taking Control

No. 25: Buffalo Sabres
Previous: 26th
Season record: 7-8-4
They’ve won their last two games and are still 3-5-2 over their last 10 games, so the Sabres temporarily saved themselves from sinking closer to the basement.
It certainly didn’t have anything to do with their offense. Every other team in the league has scored more goals than the Sabres’ 37, and Buffalo is one of just two teams (Colorado, 39) to not hit 40 goals yet this season.
The aforementioned New York Islanders could certainly use the only guy who is scoring for Buffalo. Kyle Okposo has netted 12 points on the back of an even goals-assists split. No one else on the team has hit 10 points yet, with guys like Evander Kane (two points, minus-7 rating) and Tyler Ennis (two points, minus-6 rating) really struggling hard.
