The Sabres really miss Samuelsson’s presence on the defensive end, team defense number has got worse tremendously since he went out.
In terms of 5v5 xga/60, they went from 2.6 (15th in the League) to 2.7(20th in the league) and their xga/60 on the pk went from 17th in the league to dead last.
“team loses best defensive specialist, plays worse defense”
Sometimes I’d wonder where we’d be without fancy stats, just fumbling in the dark

I just wish Donny would play Sammy on the third pair and not with Dahlin

I think you’ll find that the real problem is having a defense that can’t defend to save their lives if just a single player goes down… Which is really a coaching/GM problem.

Sammy will be lucky to play 50% of the games moving forward.. Injury prone..
