The goal light above fires the moment the Sabres score, and the score updates in real time as games are played. Below it, a snapshot of the current season. Also on the site: every franchise season, every player who's worn the jersey, every game, and advanced stats like expected goals (xG), Corsi, and PDO.
By goal differential, Buffalo's season projects to about a 95-point pace (Pythagorean expectation). They finished with 109, +5 more than the goal margin alone would earn after setting aside the 9 overtime-loss points (close-game results, the same +/-xPTS the Standings page shows once that column is turned on).
Through 82 games, Buffalo's 5-on-5 PDO is 1.020, above the 1.000 baseline that shooting and save percentage average out to. Most of a gap this size regresses out. The sustainable rate projects to about 1.004, a swing worth roughly +15 points in the standings so far. The observed figure still carries a 95% margin of ±0.016.
