The Sunshine State wasn’t very good to the Buffalo Sabres this time around.
Just one day after a loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning that ended their 10-game winning streak, the Sabres dropped their second straight in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Florida Panthers.
It was a lackluster first period for the Sabres, as they were outshot 14-6 and beat in shot attempts 27-7. The Sabres were being outshot by only a margin of 5-4, however, when Jeff Skinner potted his team-leading 20th goal of the season to give Buffalo a 1-0 lead.
