BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Things went surprisingly well for the Buffalo Sabres in their recent three-game road trip. Their return home? Not so much.The Sabres followed up their best stretch of the season with a lackluster display in a 3-1 loss to the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday. They'll look to rebound with another home game against the Florida Panthers on Thursday."Our five-on-five game wasn't where it needed to be," Sabres coach Phil Housley said, according to the team's website. "We talked this morning about where they are as a desperate team. They just played with more urgency. I didn't think we respected the position they were in. Coming off a road trip, you would've thought we would have gained confidence and been sharp."Defenseman Jake McCabe scored for Buffalo against the Devils late in the third period with the team already down 2-0. It was a performance more on par for the majority of the season for the Sabres (14-27-9). Before coming home, the Sabres exceeded expectations in a Western Canada road trip with three wins in three games -- with two of those wins coming via shutout. CLICK on the link for more info

 

Sun Sentinel Preview:

Scouting report: The Panthers complete a short two-game road trip against the Sabres on Thursday night for their final visit of the season to Buffalo. Florida returned from the All-Star break by snapping a three-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the New York Islanders on Tuesday night. Harri Sateri made 32 saves in picking up his first career NHL win, and four different Panthers scored goals. … Florida won the first meeting of the season against Buffalo, beating the Sabres 4-1 on Nov. 10 at the KeyBank Center. The Sabres enter the game with the worst record in the Eastern Conference, and the second-worst in the NHL, accumulating just 37 points through 50 games. They had a season-long, three-game winning streak end on Tuesday night with a 3-1 loss to New Jersey. All-Star forward Jack Eichel has been one of the hottest players in the NHL over the last six-plus weeks, with 25 points since Dec. 13. Only three players have more during that span. … Panthers goaltenders James Reimer (pulled groin) and Roberto Luongo (lower-body) are not expected to practice until next week. Forward Jamie McGinn (upper-body) missed Tuesday’s game.

LETS GO BUFFALO
