The Buffalo Sabres entered their road game against the Edmonton Oilers on a hot streak, but fell flat in a loss.
Rexall Place housed one of the greatest powerhouse teams in hockey history in the 1980's. Tonight was the last time the Buffalo Sabres would play in this barn, but could not find a spark anywhere reminiscent of those great Wayne Gretzky based teams.
Riding a hot streak coming in to the game, Buffalo had scored four goals or more in their last four games, the first time the club had done that since the Drury-Briere days back in 2007.
