One step forward, two steps back: Red Wings blitzed by Buffalo early, fall 5-1

Detroit — There are a lot of teams that have had much success against the Red Wings in recent seasons, but you wouldn’t necessarily think of Buffalo.

The Sabres haven't exactly been among the NHL's elite in recent seasons, and after another hot start this season they have fallen way back in the standings.

Still, the Sabres never seem to lose anymore against the Wings, Sunday was the latest example with a 5-1 victory at Little Caesars Arena.

That made it 10 wins in 14 games (10-2-2) for Buffalo against the Wings since the start of the 2016-17 season — including seven of the last eight games played in Detroit.
