Overview

  • The defeat leaves the Sabres 0-3 with just two total goals, which ranks last in the NHL after Monday’s game.
  • Coach Lindy Ruff said Josh Norris will miss a significant period after being injured in the season-opening loss to the Rangers.
  • Tage Thompson urged patience following the latest loss, while Rasmus Dahlin voiced frustration with the early slide.
