I watch a lot of Oilers games, and it really is a wonder that they don't allow a short-handed goal every single game with the kinds of odd-man opportunities they constantly allow while on the power play. Surrendered their league-leading (tied with Philadelphia) ninth tonight.

The highest shot-count for the Sabres this season, also represents the highest margin by which they outshot an opponent with +16. They have been outshot in 44/55 games, and are tied with the Flames for the second worst average shot-count per game average in the League. This is both a major accomplishment for such a dreadfully bad team, and also a product of just how truly terrible the perpetually rebuilding Oilers continue to be.
