Well, that certainly could have gone better. After a dreadful effort in the first and second period last night, the Sabres dominance in the final frame wasn’t enough as they fell 4-2 to the Ottawa Senators. Losers of four straight after a hot start to the year, the Senators were able to capitalize early against a Buffalo team that took 40 minutes to find their groove.
Despite heavily out-shooting their opponents (thanks in large part to a 23-shot third period), the Sabres had a tough time getting pucks past Craig Anderson when Jack Eichel, Jeff Skinner and Jason Pominville weren’t on the ice.
