BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Lightning arrived in Buffalo looking to snap out of their recent funk with a rescheduled Saturday afternoon game against the Sabres.
They definitely looked like a different team, but the second period again was their bugaboo as a tied game turned into a three-goal deficit following three Buffalo goals in the middle period.
With their 5-3 loss at KeyBank Center, the Lightning have won just two of their last nine games, and going back farther they’ve been a rather ordinary team since the beginning of last month, going 5-5-4 since Feb. 1.
