The Buffalo Sabres' season has been inconsistent thus far, with rankings of 24 in offense, 18 in defense and a record of 4-4. The limited offensive production of only three active skaters with five or more goals and 24 total goals and assists from Casey Middlestadt, Jeff Skinner and John-Jason Paterka can limit their effectiveness. The defense, however, has been worse, allowing opponents to have open shots on the net. Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen has been the team's bright spot, with .918 save percentage, 2.54 goals-against average and 4.7 goals saved above average.
