Alex Lyon stole a point for the Buffalo Sabres in Tuesday night's 2-1 overtime loss to the Utah Mammoth, but the team's overall performance was a red flag playing out in real time. Hopefully general manager Kevyn Adams was paying attention.
Utah dominated the game — the expected goals were 3.7 to 1.8 in the Mammoth's favor, according to MoneyPuck — as the Sabres' injury-riddled forward group struggled mightily to generate offense.
Perhaps that shouldn't come as a surprise. Jordan Greenway and Jack Quinn were skating on the first line. Mason Geertsen was in the lineup.
