HOME COOKING Buffalo enters tonight s game with a 0-- (.7) record at home this season. The team s.7 points percentage at home tied for fifth in the NHL entering play Wednesday and puts the Sabres on pace for their sixth-best home record ever, and the best since the season (7-5-8,.775). COMEBACK KIDS The Sabres are 6-7- this season when trailing after two periods. Entering play Wednesday, their six wins when trailing after 0 minutes tied for most in the league and their.00 win percentage in those games ranked second. Buffalo s six wins when trailing after two have already surpassed last season s total and leave the team three third-period comebacks shy of the franchise record of nine set in the season. NOT TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT The Sabres are -- in one-goal games so far this season. Buffalo last won more than half of its one-goal games in a season in 0- (-9-). The team s current.67 winning percentage in one-goal games tie the fifth-best mark in franchise history and would be the Sabres best record in one-goal games since (8-6-,.667). WORKING OVERTIME The Sabres are 8- in games that have been tied after regulation this season, including a 5- record in overtime and a -0 record in shootouts. Their five overtime wins have already matched their overtime win total from last season (5-0) and their three shootout wins are the team s highest total since 0-5 (8-5).

Skinner s total through games matches the Sabres single-season record shared by Daniel Briere (006-07) and Derek Roy (009-0) and ties him for 0thmost career overtime goals in franchise history. SAM I AM Sam Reinhart enters tonight s game on a career-best seven-game point streak (5+5), topping his previous career high of five games set from Dec. 0 to 9, 07. It s the third-longest active streak in the NHL, trailing only Mikko Rantanen and Alex Ovechkin ( games each) and ties as the longest by a Sabre this season. Reinhart has recorded points (8+5) in his last games, including eight two-point games during that stretch. With eight multipoint games through games played this season, he is two shy of his career-high 0 in a season.

11 The Sabres are -- this season when Reinhart records at least one point and 5--5 (.8) in his career when he records at least two. POINTS IN BUNCHES Jack Eichel recorded his 5th multi-point game of the season on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles (+). He has now recorded two points in five of his last six games. Entering play Wednesday, Eichel s 5 multi-point games ranked third in the league this season, one behind co-leaders Mikko Rantanen and Nathan MacKinnon. Through games, he is three shy of his career-high 8 in a season. DYNAMIC DUO Jack Eichel and Jeff Skinner are currently on pace to shatter their personal bests in points and make a mark in the Sabres record books on the strength of career-best production at even strength that ranks them among the best even-strength players in the league this season. If he maintains his current pace, Eichel would finish the season with the third-most even-strength points ever recorded by a Sabre (7), trailing only Pat LaFontaine (8) and Alexander Mogilny (78) in 99-9, and would top LaFontaine s franchise-record 5 evenstrength assists that season.

Skinner is currently on pace to tie the second-highest goal total in Sabres history (56), trailing only Mogilny in 99-9 (76).
