Buffalo Sabres Shut Out Ottawa Senators 4-0 in Disappointing Homecoming

The Senators extend their losing streak to four games, struggling offensively and defensively after a lengthy road trip.

The Ottawa Senators suffered a 4-0 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in their first home game after nearly a month on the road due to the world junior hockey championship.
Buffalo's Jack Quinn scored twice, while Dylan Cozens and Ryan McLeod added goals, with McLeod's goal deflecting off Thomas Chabot's skate.
Goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen recorded an impressive 35-save shutout for the Sabres, while Ottawa's Anton Forsberg made 17 saves in the loss.
The Senators have now lost four straight games (0-3-1) and have been outscored 15-4 during this stretch, with top players like Tim Stutzle and Drake Batherson struggling to produce offensively.
Ottawa faces further challenges as forward Noah Gregor left the game with an injury and is expected to miss time, and the team prepares for back-to-back games this weekend against Pittsburgh and Dallas.
