Sabres outshoot Oilers in all three periods

The Sabres have taken more shots than all but three teams in the league. Which is saying something, since they love to embark on cold streaks. Now, most of their 1,836 shots have come when they’re trailing and therefore, trying to score often.

Although the Sabres scored four-straight to make quick work of the Toronto Maple Leafs, even their division rival, the second period saw the Leafs taking twice as many shots as the Sabres. This time, the Sabres, who won four of their past six against playoff contenders, will get a little more aggressive.

Not that outshooting the Oilers in all three periods will guarantee a win. The Sabres are still a struggling franchise. But they will give themselves plenty of opportunities to leave Edmonton with a W before their dance with Calgary.
