Evidently the pressure of the GDL4 scoring race is getting to Buffalo's Alex Mogilny.
With the league's top 3 scorer's seasons over with, Mogs had a good chance to vie for the Art Ross.
Over the team's last 8 games, he needed to average 6 points per game to have a real shot at the trophy.
A home and home series with basement-dweller washington seemed to be just what the doctor ordered.
He came out flying game one in Washington, scoring 4 goals with one assist. However, Mogs missed at least 2 open nets and rang it off the post!
In the Buffalo game, he seemed even more snake-bitten, hitting the post 2x to go with a couple more missed open nets! The final tally-3G/1A.
For most players 9 points in 2 games is pretty good, but with 5 games remaining for the Sabres and Mogs a daunting 35 points behind league leader Jeremy Roenick, things aren't looking good.
