Buffalo finally edged the Wings 2-1 in the seventh round when Sam Reinhart beat goaltender Jimmy Howard, securing the Sabres’ their ninth consecutive victory.
“It was a pretty good hockey game, but in the end we have to find a way to make that extra play,” Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said.
Similar to Friday’s loss in Washington the Red Wings weren’t dangerous on the power play — they were 0-for-4, although Anthony Mantha’s tying goal came only 4 seconds after a power play expired — and Buffalo scored twice on the power play, capitalizing on the Wings’ penalty kill.
