HEY NOW, YOU’RE AN ALL-STAR
Jeff Skinner led all Atlantic Division candidates in fan votes during the NHL’s “Last Men In” vote to earn a spot on the Atlantic
Division All-Star Team. He will make his second All-Star Game appearance and first since his Calder Trophy-winning season in
2010.
Skinner will join Jack Eichel, also making his second career All-Star Game appearance, as the first pair of Sabres to appear in an
All-Star Game together since the team had three representatives (Daniel Briere, Brian Campbell and Ryan Miller) in 2007. 30 FOR 53
Jeff Skinner's goal last night gave him 30 goals for the fourth time in his career. He became the first Sabres player to score 30 goals
in a season since Jason Pominville did so in 2011-12.
Skinner's 44 games needed to reach the 30-goal mark tied him with Rick Martin in 1971-72 as the sixth-fastest Sabre to score 30.
He trailed only Alexander Mogilny (30 GP in 1992-93), Pat LaFontaine (31 GP in 1991-92 and 42 GP in 1992-93), Gilbert Perreault
(40 GP in 1977-78) and Rick Martin (41 GP in 1973-74). HOME COOKINGBuffalo enters tonight’s game with a 14-5-3 (.705) record at home. The team’s .705 points percentage at home ranked seventh in theNHL after last night’s game. It would rank as the Sabres’ eighth-best home record ever and would be their best since the 1982-83season (25-7-8, .725). BACK-TO-BACKTonight’s game wraps up Buffalo’s ninth of 16 sets of back-to-back games this season, which began with a 4-3 loss last night atCarolina. The Sabres are 4-4-1 in the first game of back-to-back sets and 5-1-2 in the second game so far this season. Buffalo’s pointbreakdown in their previous back-to-back sets is: four points (3), three points (1), two points (2), one point (2) and zero points (0). COMEBACK KIDS
The Sabres are 6-12-2 this season when trailing after two periods. Their six wins when trailing after 40 minutes tied for second-most
in the league after last night’s game and their .300 win percentage in those games ranked fourth.
Buffalo’s six wins when trailing after two have already surpassed last season’s total and leave the team three third-period comebacks
shy of the franchise record of nine set in the 2005-06 season. SCORING WHEN IT COUNTS
After last night’s game, Jeff Skinner’s seven game-winning goals tied for the most in the NHL this season. He is the first Sabres
player with at least seven game-winners in a season since Derek Roy (9) in 2008-09 and is four shy of matching the single-season
franchise record of 11 shared by Danny Gare (1979-80) and Alexander Mogilny (1992-93).
Skinner also finished last night’s game tied for second in the league with three overtime goals this season. Skinner’s total matches
the Sabres’ single-season record shared by Daniel Briere (2006-07) and Derek Roy (2009-10) and ties him for 10th-most career
overtime goals in franchise history. DAH-LEAN ON MEAfter last night’s game, Rasmus Dahlin led rookie defensemen and ranked third among all NHL rookies with 23 points (4+19) thisseason.
With his 20th point in his 37th game on Dec. 22 vs. Anaheim, he became the fourth-fastest 18-year-old defenseman in NHL history to
reach the 20-point mark, trailing only Phil Housley (28 GP), Ray Bourque (30 GP) and Aaron Ekblad (34 GP).
Only eight defensemen in NHL history have recorded more points before their 19th birthdays than Dahlin’s
Dahlin’s totals put him on pace for 43 points this season. It would trail only Phil Housley (57 points in 1982-83) for most ever by a
defenseman before his 19th birthday.

LEADING THE WAY
All three of the Sabres’ top three scorers are currently on pace to shatter their personal bests in points on the strength of career-best
production at even strength that ranks them each among the best even-strength players in the league this season:
MAKING HISTORY
If the Sabres’ top scorers continue their current pace, the team would have three 75-point players for the first time since 1992-93 (Pat
LaFontaine, Alexander Mogilny, Dale Hawerchuk).
At his current pace, Jack Eichel would finish the season with the fourth-most even-strength points ever recorded by a Sabre, trailing
only LaFontaine (83) and Mogilny (78) in 1992-93, and Gilbert Perreault in 1975-76 (70). He would trail only LaFontaine’s franchise-
record 52 even-strength assists that season and would become the first Sabre to record more than 90 points since Daniel Briere in
2006-07 (95).
Jeff Skinner is currently on pace to tie Danny Gare in 1979-80 (56) for the second-most goals in Sabres history, trailing only Mogilny
in 1992-93 (76). His 43 even-strength goals would finish behind only Mogilny’s even-strength total from 1992-93 (49) and Rick
Martin’s 44 in 1973-74 for third-most in team history. SABRES AMONG LEAGUE-LEADERS (Sabres’ league rankings after last night’s game)
