Buffalo Sabres
By James Gleason of Editor In Leaf
With just three games to go in the Buffalo Sabres’ season, injuries have taken its toll on the team. With goalies Michal Neuvirth and Jhonas Enroth already out, Nathan Lieuwen suffered an apparent concussion against the Flyers Sunday night. Matt Hackett got the start for the Sabres as they fell against the Red Wings 4-2 last night. He made 33 saves in the loss as Zegmus Girgensons netted his first career two-goal game but it was not enough as goals by Ben Smith, Pavel Datsyuk, David Legwand and Jiri Hudler propelled Detroit to the win. The Sabres play the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins and New York Islanders to close out the year and it could very well be a loss in every one of those games as the season ends.
