Buffalo is the hottest team in the league in the last 10 games played with a 8-0-2 record and is the only team with no outright losses in that stretch and is tied for the most wins with 8 (Dallas).
The Sabres have the lowest amount of outright losses @ home of any team in the eastern conference @ 8.
As of today, the Sabres are the #1 Penalty killing team in the Eastern conference.
The Sabres have 2 games in hand on all the teams currently situated 9-12 in the Eastern conference.
The Sabres have 15 home games and 10 away games remaining and are tied with the lowest amount of homes games played thus far with 2 other teams (carolina, phoenix) @ 26 games in the league. A huge majority ( ~85%) of the teams have a better record at home than they do away, which leads me to believe that the Sabres should play better than .500 hockey the rest of the way (based on averages).
Staying on the current pace and based on record alone, the Sabres should end up with ~94 total points for this season. Last year that good enough for 6th place in the conference and good for 7th the year before that.
