Sabres Report: Statistical Update for March
Written by: Ken McKenna on 04/01/2003 
The playoffs are in full gear in most of the hockey world, and will soon be revving up in the NHL, AHL and ECHL. For fans of the Buffalo Sabres, however, this is a bittersweet time of year due to their favorites once again missing out on the playoff excitement. But the teams’ play of late has been somewhat encouraging, which at least creates hope for next season.
Some of Buffalo’s prospects still are competing, however, and there is a chance that the farm team in Rochester could sneak into the AHL postseason with a season-ending surge. So this is by no means the final update of the prospects’ statistics, but rather a look at what Buffalo’s prospects have accomplished since the last update.
All prospects listed on the Sabres page are included in this table. All European players not designated with a number next to their country of origin (ex. CZE vs. CZE1) are playing in the top league in those countries, with the numbers next to the country abbreviation indicating participation in a lower league. Other abbreviations: NHL= National Hockey League, AHL= American Hockey League, OHL= Ontario Hockey League, QMJHL= Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, HE= Hockey East (NCAA), WCHA= Western Collegiate Hockey Association (NCAA), WJC= World Junior Championships. An asterisk [*] next to a team name indicates playoff statistics. Statistics are from games played through March 31st, 2003.
