After Drury
Faceoffs a numbers game

| MONTREAL — The Buffalo Sabres used to rely on Chris Drury for faceoffs. Now they rely on technology |

The Sabres are still trying to determine whether Derek Roy, Paul Gaustad, Tim Connolly or Jochen Hecht will take his place.
So far, they’re all getting their chances. But it’s not a matter of simply rotating them to see how they react. Ruff and his assistant coaches use real-time stats to make their choice. James Patrick is connected to the assistants upstairs via headset, and he quickly asks the stat keepers to tell him who’s having a good night or who’s having success against a certain opponent. |
