Buffalo has earned a win in 4 of its final 5 video games in Philadelphia (4-1-0) and has scored 5 or extra targets in every of the group’s wins in that span.

The Sabres have recorded 9 power-play targets of their final 9 video games, together with no less than one in every of their final 5 video games. An influence-play aim in tonight’s sport would give Buffalo its longest power-play aim streak since Oct. 27 to Nov. 10, 2022 (eight video games).

Rasmus Dahlin has notched 12 factors (4+8) in his final 9 video games, together with no less than one level in 5 straight video games (3+4). If Dahlin data some extent in right now’s sport, it is going to mark the primary time he has notched some extent streak of six or extra video games since Oct. 14 to 29, 2023 (eight video games; 2+7) and his six-game level streak can be tied for the secondlongest of his profession.

Amongst all NHL groups since Nov. 1, the Sabres are tied for fourth in wins (4) and tied for tenth in factors (8). Buffalo has registered no less than one power-play aim in six of its seven video games performed within the month of November and it ranks tied for second in power-play targets (7) and fourth in power-play share (30.4) amongst all NHL groups in November. The Sabres have recorded 26 targets in seven video games this month, the third-most targets scored amongst all NHL groups in November.

5 Sabres skaters (Bowen Byram; 1.00; Rasmus Dahlin; 1.14; JJ Peterka, 1.00; Tage Thompson, 1.00; Alex Tuch, 1.00) have recorded no less than one level per sport performed in November.

Bowen Byram leads all NHL skaters within the month of November in plus/minus (+10). He’s one in all solely three NHL skaters who’ve averaged 25 or extra minutes of time on ice to report a optimistic plus/minus in that span and the one others (Dahlin; Ryan Pulock) have a plus-1 score. Byram (175:02 TOI) is one in all two Sabres skaters because the NHL started monitoring time on ice in 1997-98 to report a plus/minus of plus-10 or higher whereas skating 175 or extra minutes in any seven-game span. Tyler Myers (twice) is the one different Buffalo skater to take action.
