NEW YORK -- Rasmus Asplund, Dylan Cozens and Jeff Skinner scored for Buffalo, on a rare night where the Sabres showed some offensive skill, but it wasn't enough in a 5-3 loss to the New York Rangers Monday.
The defeat dropped Buffalo to a miserable 0-12-2 in their last 14 games, which matches the NHL's longest skid since the Sabres went 0-14-0 midway through the 2014-15 season.
New York's Keith Kinkaid, who began the season in the AHL, became yet another goalie to stop the Sabres, making 16 saves in his second consecutive start for the Rangers.
