Even the NHL’s best penalty kill units have a breaking point, and the Sharks reached it on their four-game road trip that ended Sunday night in Buffalo.
The Sharks were shorthanded four more times Sunday and allowed two power-play goals — each after delay of game, puck-over-glass infractions — in a 6-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center.
Nick Bonino and Oskar Lindblom both scored their first goals of the season and Kevin Labanc added a power-play goal for his fifth of the year. But the Sabres scored three unanswered goals in the second period, including a power play goal by Jack Quinn at the 13:45 mark, as they took a 4-2 lead.
