MacArthur adjusting to Southern life

‘”Atlanta and Buffalo are like night and day,” MacArthur said Tuesday. “The traffic here, you’ve got to leave an hour before just to get here on time. I’ve had a few panic attacks here so far. I definitely miss living beside the arena in Buffalo, I’ll tell you that right now.”‘

‘Slater gave Atlanta their third lead of the night on a deflection in front of the net. The puck hit off of Slater’s glove, but was deemed a “good goal” after a video review to make it 4-3 Atlanta. The Sabres had several chances down the stretch, but were hampered by an Adam Mair penalty with under two minutes to go in the game. The Sabres have now lost three straight games.’
