Buffalo Sabres v. Edmonton Oilers - By the Numbers

In an effort to try to forget the Sabres are currently in 11th place, I decided to focus on being 1-0 in 2012. This wasn't the best game the Sabres have played all season but it was good enough to get the victory. After a slow start the Sabres turned up the heat and controlled play most of the way. Still the outcome was in doubt throughout and came down to the final seconds.

The Stats appear similar to the game. The Sabres had a slight edge in just about every category.
