Oftentimes a three goals-against effort doesn’t go down as a great game for a goaltender, but tonight, Robin Lehner was the hero for the Sabres as they came out of their holiday break with a 4-3 win against the Detroit Red Wings.
Lehner gave up three goals, but none of them were directly his fault. He had a puck deflect off the back of his helmet, a puck bounce off his defenseman right to Drew Miller’s stick, and a goal were he was completely screened.
Aside from that, Robin was strong in net tonight, stopping 40 of 43 shots and keeping the Sabres in the game both early before the goals and late holding on to the lead.
