High-Flying Buffalo Sabres Shot Down By Winnipeg Jets

The Buffalo Sabres just didn't have it Tuesday night in Winnipeg.  Coming off a game in Buffalo the night before and having to fly to Winnipeg to meet a rested Jets team, the Sabres couldn't keep pace. The Jets scored 3 times in the second period and added two more in the third to beat the Sabres 5-1 to end Buffalo's four-game winning streak.

The Sabres got on the board first with a first period power play goal.  Nikita Zadorov scored his second goal of the season, and second in three games to put Buffalo in front, but midway thru the second period the roof caved in.  The Sabres gave up three goals in less than five minutes.  They never were in it after that.

With Jonas Enroth getting the night off, Michael Neuvirth stopped 31 of 36 shots.

The Sabres are off until Saturday when they host Colorado.
