Gionta set up the Sabres' only regulation goal in Tuesday's 2-1 shootout victory over the Bruins. Gionta has posted near-identical stat lines the last two games, amassing a power-play helper, four SOG, and between 23 and 24 minutes of ice time in both contests. Unfortunately, even that meager level of production can't be counted on to continue, as Gionta and second-line mates Phil Varone and Marcus Foligno routinely find themselves overmatched on any given night. With 21 points so far, Gionta is on pace to produce his lowest mark for a full season since supplying 15 points for the Canadiens in an injury-plagued 2011-12 campaign.
