Sabres Advance Despite Anemic Power Play

The Buffalo Sabres have advanced to the second round of the playoffs despite a historically poor power-play performance against the Boston Bruins.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin and coach Lindy Ruff acknowledged the unit’s struggles, which saw the team convert just 1 of 24 chances against Boston. Dahlin admitted they need more goals to sustain success, while Ruff suggested wiping the slate clean for the next round.

The team faces a quick turnaround, hosting Game 1 of the second round on Wednesday. Injuries to forwards Josh Norris and Noah Ostlund, along with the youth of the roster, contributed to the lack of continuity on the power play. newsindata.com
