The Detroit Red Wings went nearly a month without losing back-to-back games. They have suddenly cooled off in the space of two days.
Following a road loss at Washington on Friday, the Red Wings lost a lengthy shootout and fell to the streaking Buffalo Sabres, 3-2, at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday.
Sam Reinhart deposited a shot past Jimmy Howard for the winner as the Sabres won the shootout in seven rounds, scoring twice.
The Wings salvaged a point but saw their four-game home streak snapped. They gave up a pair of power-play goals in regulation as Buffalo won its ninth straight.
