Red Wings' 5-Game Streak Ends, Sabres Win 4-2

The Detroit Red Wings entered Wednesday's game in Buffalo riding a five-game winning streak and were buoyed by a young roster assembled under GM Steve Yzerman and accountability measures from coach Todd McLellan. Buffalo (2-4 entering the game) outworked Detroit at KeyBank Center and beat the Red Wings 4-2, ending the streak. Jack Quinn scored on the power play and Josh Doan added a goal nearly four minutes later in the third period to put the game out of reach. Goalie John Gibson received little support as Detroit was outplayed and outscored. The loss halts some of Detroit’s early momentum as the franchise chases its first playoff berth in nine seasons.
