Lane Hutson has averaged 5.8 attempts per game in the playoffs, well above his season average of 3.7.

Hutson is being spoonfed offensive zone starts and will see as much ice as he can handle in an elimination game, setting him up to fire away.

Goals Scored

Alex Tuch leads the Sabres in shot attempts (38), shots on target (21), and scoring chances (20), yet has not hit the scoresheet, let alone found the back of the net.

He is constantly knocking on the door and playing more minutes than any other forward on the roster. He'll have every opportunity to break through.
