Buffalo Sabres Extend Losing Streak to Five in Overtime Loss to Winnipeg Jets
The Sabres fell 3-2 in overtime despite a strong defensive effort, with controversial goalie interference calls overturning a potential game-winning goal.
- Adam Lowry scored the overtime winner for the Winnipeg Jets, ending their own four-game losing streak and improving their record to 19-8.
- The Sabres, now 11-12-3, have not won since November 23 and remain three points out of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
- Rookie Tyson Kozak had a memorable NHL debut, scoring what could have been his first career goal, but it was overturned due to a controversial goalie interference challenge.
- Buffalo played without captain Rasmus Dahlin, sidelined by back spasms, as other defensemen stepped up with Owen Power logging a team-high 29:21 of ice time.
- Despite outshooting Winnipeg in the third period and creating several high-danger scoring chances, the Sabres struggled to finish and failed to capitalize on a late power play opportunity.
