Minus-1: Losing the Drop
The Sabres returned home from a week-long road trip to improve their impressive record at KeyBank Center, but went down by two goals early before the first period ended. The team is 7-1-0 when scoring first, and it was disappointing to see them fail to score the first, and then also give up a second.
