Red Wings drop fifth in a row, losing 1-0 to Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Benoit Pouliot scored for the second straight game and Robin Lehner made 32 saves in a shutout as the Buffalo Sabres beat the struggling Detroit Red Wings 1-0 on Tuesday night.

Victor Antipin and Taylor Fedun each had an assist for Buffalo, which handed the Red Wings their fifth defeat in a row.

The win was the first at home for rookie coach Phil Housley and ended the Sabres' three-game home losing streak. Buffalo won consecutive games for the first time this season and improved to 3-5-2.

Pouliot scored with 10:15 remaining in the second period when he took the rebound of Antipin's shot and stuffed a wraparound behind goalie Jimmy Howard.
