The do not play again until Tuesday when they travel to Montreal for a game against the Canadiens. After their 5-2 lo s in Vancouver on Friday night, their current losing streak now sits at 14 consecutive games. They have not won a hockey game since December 27 when they won a shootout against the New York Islanders.That means they went the entire month of January without winning one hockey game. Even worse, they did not even take a single game to overtime and earn a point in the standings. This is worth repeating. An NHL team went an entire calendar month during the season without recording one point in the standings. To find their last win in regulation, you have to go all the way back to Dec. 15 for a 5-4 win against the Ottawa Senators. Since that win against Ottawa the Sabres have collected just three out of a po sible 38 points in the standings. But let's just focus for a second on the losing streak, because it is starting to get into historic territory.They are just three lo ses away from tying the NHL record for longest losing streak (17 games), a mark that is currently shared by the 1974-75 Washington Capitals (their first season in the NHL), and the 1992-93 San Jose Sharks (their second season in the league). During the streak they have been outscored by a Blake Griffin Jersey 61-21 margin, a minus-40 goal differential that would be among the worst in the NHL for the entire season, let alone just a single 14-game stretch in January. More sad Sabres stats: Sabres have been outscored 61-21 during the 14-game skid. A -40 goal differential would be third-worst in NHL itself. Joe Yerdon (@JoeYerdon) By comparison, their goal differential over the first 36 games of the season was minus-45.During their current losing streak they have attempted only 36.6 percent of the of the even-strength shot attempts during their games, which is also not only a decline over what they did over the first 36 games of the season (when they were at 38 percent), but an unspeakably bad number that is almost unheard of. Keep in mind that the second-worst po se sion team in the NHL this season is Colorado, having attempted 44 percent of the 5-on-5 shot attempts.The most amazing thing is the potential for this to keep Christian Wood Jersey getting worse. Their have to face Montreal, St. Louis, Dallas and the New York Islanders, and there is still the very real po sibility that by the time the trade deadline comes around the few legitimate NHL regulars they have could be playing for other teams. Remember, though, even if nobody in the organization will admit it, . It has to be by design. Nobody is this bad by accident. But, hey, if the end game here is Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel, then it all might be worth it in the long-run.
