One of the goals for the Buffalo Sabres entering Tuesday’s game against the Nashville Predators: score. a. goal. It may sound simple, but after scoring just one goal in the two weekend games - including being shut out by the Blue Jackets Sunday - the Sabres needed to hit the back of the net.
They got a couple of goals, but in the end, also got their eighth straight loss.
Just under nine minutes into the game, the Predators took a 1-0 lead. P.K. Subban took a shot from the blue line that was deflected by Craig Smith in front of the net.
