Buffalo Sabres Snap Panthers' Skid with 3-0 Victory
Buffalo Sabres secured a decisive 3-0 victory over the Florida Panthers, snapping the latter's four-game losing streak. The win was highlighted by Josh Doan's impressive debut with the Sabres. Josh Doan, traded from the Utah Mammoth in the summer of 2022, scored his first two goals for Buffalo, both on power plays. His goals in the first and second periods helped the Sabres overcome Florida's active skid in the Eastern Conference. Doan's performance was a stark contrast to the Panthers' recent offensive struggles, having scored only four goals in their last four games. Goaltender Alex Lyon played a pivotal role in the Sabres' win, recording his fifth career shutout and second against Florida. He denied all 32 shots from the Panthers, who had been struggling to find the net. Lyon's performance was crucial in helping Buffalo maintain their power play advantage, converting 2 out of 4 attempts while successfully killing all seven opposing power plays. The Buffalo Sabres' victory over the Florida Panthers was a testament to their resilience and adaptability. Josh Doan's impressive debut and Alex Lyon's shutout were key factors in the Sabres' 3-0 win, ending the Panthers' four-game losing streak.
