Panthers End Sabres' Winning Streak with 5-2 Win

The Florida Panthers secured a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, ending the Sabres' three-game winning streak. Carter Verhaeghe scored the game-winning goal late in the second period. The Sabres, who had hoped to extend their streak by defeating the reigning Stanley Cup champions for the second time this month, were unable to overcome the Panthers. Aleksander Barkov returned to the Panthers' lineup after recovering from an injury. This defeat marked the Sabres' first loss after a resurgence that saw them score four or more goals in six consecutive games, a feat not achieved in 31 years. The Panthers' victory extends their winning streak to three games as they prepare to travel to Finland for the Global Series against the Dallas Stars.
