By Hockey in 60
Buffalo Sabres paired the victory with a 32–24 advantage in shots on goal, accounting for 57.1% of the two teams’ combined shots.

Buffalo Sabres converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%); Anaheim Ducks converted 0 of 2 power plays (0.0%). Neither team added a power-play goal, so neither gained a scoring edge from converting its man advantages.
Buffalo Sabres won 66% of faceoffs. That is a clear edge in restarts, but faceoff percentage should not be treated as a possession percentage: the totals do not show where the draws occurred or what happened immediately afterwards.
