The Buffalo Sabres saw their win streak come to an end on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. It wasn't just the loss, but the way they lost, as the Blue Jackets outplayed them from almost start to finish and cruised to a 4-1 victory.
There is no question that the Sabres were not going to win every game for the remainder of the season. However, how they respond from this game will be an indication if this is really a new Buffalo Sabres team or a similar version to what fans saw over the past 14 seasons.
