Buffalo Sabres v. New York Islanders - By the Numbers
The Sabres continue to be the only team without a winning streak since early November. It looked like they had a chance to break the streak on Saturday night despite some sloppy play, especially in their own zone. Jhonas Enroth was outstanding and Derek Roy finally found the back of the net. Unfortunately the mistakes eventually caught up with Buffalo and Micheal Grabner gave the Islanders a late lead.
Buffalo had one last chance to tie the score but Thomas Vanek hit the goal post on a penalty shot with just over one minute left in the game. Grabner added an empty net goal and the Sabres head to Detroit on a one game losing streak.
