The Buffalo Sabres faced a crushing defeat at the hands of the Seattle Kraken, concluding the match with a score of 6-2. After establishing a promising 2-0 lead in the first period, the Sabres faltered, allowing six goals without reply from the Kraken.
Head coach Lindy Ruff did not hold back his disappointment after the game, labeling the second period as 'embarrassing.' He criticized his team's lack of aggressive play and failure to capitalize on opportunities, highlighting their tendency to play around the perimeter rather than attacking the net.
This loss, a continuation of the Sabres’ struggles, leaves them languishing at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The team will need to regroup quickly as they prepare to face the Carolina Hurricanes next Wednesday.
