With the loss last night to the Arizona Coyotes, the Buffalo Sabres remain at the bottom of the league with 58 points. The 'Yotes, who had found themselves at or near the bottom of the league all season, are on a tear in the month of March going 7-3-1 so far. For their part, the Sabres have been sputtering as of late losing three of their last four and presently sit at 3-5-1 for the month.
Buffalo's drive to the bottom of the league, whether covertly directed (which some think,) or because of the lack of talent (especially on defense,) or because a rookie coach was (is?) way out of his league, continues with only one challenger right now--the Vancouver Canucks.
The Canucks have packed it in having lost their last seven games and 10 of their last 11 (1-8-2.) They'll hit the ice tonight against a reeling Chicago Blackhawks team that's in the very unusual position of being last in the Central Division and 25th in the league.
There are only nine games left in Buffalo's regular season and as of right now, here are the standings at the bottom of the league:
26th--Detroit (65 points)
27th--Montreal (64)
28th--Ottawa (63)
29th--Arizona (61)
30th--Vancouver (59)
31st--Buffalo (58)
Here are the odds of landing the first-overall pick in the NHL Draft via the lottery:
31st place--18.0%
30th--12.5
29th--10.5
28th--9.5
27th--8.5
26th--7.6
