RW Tage Thompson scored his 29th goal of the season in the defeat, but the Sabres' offense has struggled recently. With key injuries to LW Zemgus Girgensons and defenseman Jacob Bryson, the team is looking to bounce back. Currently ranked 22nd in offense, 13th in defense, and with a record of 37-36-5 this season, Buffalo is focused on regaining momentum.
