The Sabres got their first hat trick from a defenseman in almost 30 years, but still lost, failing to earn a single point on their road trip.
One week ago, the Buffalo Sabres left home flying high after beating the Arizona Coyotes 5-2. The Sabres had scored 17 goals in their previous four games, going 3-0-1 in the process. Today, the Sabres woke up wondering what happened, as the team lost all three of their west coast games, scoring just seven goals in those three contests.
It wasn't for lack of trying, however, and one man tried to put the team on his shoulders last night to break them out of their slump.
