In their last three games, the Sabres have experienced both highs and lows. They secured a dominant 7-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings with an impressive shooting percentage of eighteen percent and displayed strong offensive prowess by scoring seven even-strength goals. However, they also suffered a narrow loss to the Nashville Predators with four goals against them on twenty-four shots.

The team's faceoff win percentage has been inconsistent, ranging from forty-six percent against Nashville to just twenty percent in their shootout win over Edmonton Oilers. Despite these fluctuations, one constant has been their goaltending; saves percentages have remained high across all matches.

When it comes to power plays, Buffalo's performance has varied significantly. Against Detroit, they capitalized on one out of four opportunities but failed to score during power plays in their game against Nashville.

Defensively speaking, there is room for improvement as well. The number of giveaways by Buffalo was notably high at sixteen during their game against Nashville but reduced significantly in subsequent matches.
