ROAD TRIP TRACKER ✈️
Only half of the job was accomplished tonight.
The Stars are Buffalo's toughest matchup on this trip, and now the Sabres are going to have to try to steal points in Dallas Saturday night #LetsGoBuffalo
A poor 3rd period by the Sabres allows the Blackhawks to force overtime and eventually steal the 2nd point Buffalo needed to have.
Ostlund's 2nd poor game in a row, and Crevier still has yet to impress.
GOAL: CHI ▪️ SCORE: 2-2 ▪️ xG: 0.08
Nazar gets his 2nd of the night as he tips a Rinzel point shot past Lyon. Chicago took advantage of one of their few successful zone cycles in this game.

Exactly why you need to pull further ahead while you have the opportunities.
Chicago ties it up at 2.
The ice is still tilted about 2/3rds in the Sabres' favor.
Buffalo needs better zone time and has to make Chicago pay for their poor puck management in the neutral zone.
This game is too close for comfort.
A dominant 1st period by Buffalo with a PK blunder keeping the Blackhawks within 1.
Tage, Quinn, and Power lead the way, as has been the case for most of the season.

A HUGE 6-game road trip starts tonight for the Sabres in Chicago #LetsGoBuffalo
The Sabres need 75% of the points on this trip to get themselves in a good spot by American Thanksgiving.
It's the first major checkpoint for prospective NHL playoff teams.

Why is American Thanksgiving an important benchmark? 🦃
79% of NHL teams out of a playoff position by 3 or more standings points since 2010 have NOT made the playoffs.
