Bruins Defeat Sabres 3-1, Extend Losing Streak

The Boston Bruins defeated the Buffalo Sabres 3-1, marking the Sabres' 13th consecutive loss, a streak reminiscent of their previous record of 18 games without a win in 2021. Morgan Geekie scored the decisive power-play goal with 1:45 left in regulation, while Charlie Coyle and Brad Marchand contributed to the Bruins' scoring efforts. The Sabres, struggling with an overall record of 11-18-4, have not won since November 23, showcasing their longest winless stretch of the season at 0-10-3. JJ Peterka managed to tie the game briefly for Buffalo, but their inability to capitalize on opportunities and their defensive lapses ultimately cost them. This defeat follows a recent 6-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, exacerbating the Sabres' challenges as they continue to search for solutions amid their ongoing slump. The Bruins, now 10-4-1 under interim coach Joe Sacco, will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming matches against the Capitals.
