Tampa Bay Lightning visit Buffalo Sabres with both goalies struggling to stop pucks this season
NHL'S REIGNING MVP NIKITA KUCHEROV REPORTEDLY ASKS LIGHTNING FOR TRADE IN STUNNING MOVE The Buffalo Sabres are not exactly great to start the season, but they aren't playing poorly either.
Key points
- Hockey is the one sport that I don't follow quite as much, but I've made concerted efforts over the years to try to follow the regular season closer.
- Tonight, the Lightning and Sabres battle in one of the better games of the night.
- For the season, Buffalo is 8-6-3, and only 4-5-0 for the year on their home ice.
Neither of the defenses look that good this season, and the goalies are letting a lot of pucks past them.
The Tampa Bay Lightning are off to a great start with an 11-4-2 record.
Additional details
- Their offense has looked great this season with a 3.71 goals-per-game average, but they are allowing 3.06 goals per game as well.
- It seems like this year has had more big names with trade requests (earlier) too, and has been a pretty exciting early season.
- Over the past five games, the Lightning have won three games and lost the other two, with one in a shootout.
- The Sabres are playing decent enough hockey lately, but they are 1-2 at home in their current home streak.
- The Sabres are allowing about the same number of shots per game to opponents as they are taking.
