Buffalo Sabres Record Third Straight Win

The Buffalo Sabres secured their first three-game winning streak of the season with a 5-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings, marking a significant improvement compared to last season when they did not achieve this feat until February. Tage Thompson starred for the Sabres, scoring two goals and providing an assist, while Rasmus Dahlin contributed with three assists, solidifying his place in franchise history. The Sabres, who broke a 0-for-22 power-play slump with Jason Zucker's goal, demonstrated a newfound consistency, as noted by coach Lindy Ruff and players regarding the importance of early-season points. The Red Wings, despite Lucas Raymond's short-handed goal, could not maintain their own three-game winning streak. The victory improves the Sabres' record to 4-4-1, showcasing a promising start compared to last year's struggles. The Sabres will look to build on this momentum in their upcoming game against the Florida Panthers.
