‘The Sabres are 3-7-1 in their 11 games and are simply losing touch with any semblance of a race. They were outshot, 31-19, marking the second straight game they failed to get to 20. It was 2-0 for St. Louis after one period and 2-1 for about 5 1/2 minutes in the second after Jack Eichel’s 27th goal of the season.’
