Cranbrook’s Bowen Byram is on pace to score more points then he did last season, but the Buffalo Sabres are making their way up a record list no one wants to be on.
Byram has four goals and 14 assists for 18 points in 32 games, compared to last year’s total of 29.
While he is having a good year on the scoresheet, his team is not.
The Sabres have an 11-game losing streak which is the 18th longest in NHL History.
Two more losses this weekend would bump them up to 9th all-time.
Byram says they just need to get one win to start turning this around.
“I think if there was a magic potion we’d be taking it. We need to find a way to win,” he said in a postgame availability.
“It just seems when you’re losing games like this everything goes against you. We just need to find a way to scrape one out and then we’ll be all right.”
This is the second-longest losing streak in franchise history. The Sabres lost 14 in a row in 2015.
They have a chance to end the streak tonight as they get set to face the Toronto Maple Leafs.
