The Buffalo Sabres defeated the Carolina Hurricanes, 3-0 on Tuesday night in Buffalo. It was Carolina’s third loss in a row, all on the road.
As a matter of fact, it has been the road trip from hell for the Canes as they have been outscored, 13-4 in those three games.
Coach Brind’Amour admitted that his team has not played the same as they did when they clinched a playoff spot last week.
We’ve taken a little breather here since we’ve got in [to the playoffs], you can feel it. I don’t want to say it’s kind of expected, but we’ve got to snap out of it here quick.
