BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The playoffs may be out of reach for the Sabres, but Buffalo showed improvement in a key area to wrap up a four-game road trip on Monday.
The Sabres jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Detroit Red Wings and were able to hold on for a 2-1 road win, ending the trip with a record of 2-2-0. Holding onto leads has been an issue for the Sabres all season long, but goalie Robin Lehner turned away 34 shots to help lead Buffalo to victory.
Buffalo (30-31-12) won't have any time to savor the victory, however, with a quick turnaround against one of the best teams in the league.
