The Buffalo Sabres suffered their second-consecutive loss in overtime Tuesday evening, falling 5-4 to the Pittsburgh Penguins on the road.
The Sabres scored first against the Penguins, just as they did against the Montreal Canadiens Saturday evening. The similarities don’t stop there, of course: the Sabres enjoyed a lead against the Penguins when the third period started, just as they were ahead of the Canadiens after two periods on Saturday. Two straight games, two straight OT losses, and the Sabres, losers of four of their last five, are right back to being dead-last in the Eastern Conference standings.
