Buffalo ends 18-game winless streak
Apr 1, 2021
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Linus Ullmark stopped 31 shots and the Buffalo Sabres snapped an 18-game skid the NHL’s longest in 17 years with a 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday night.
Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was the first off the bench as the final horn sounded and led a line of Sabres players high-fiving Ullmark in an arena without fans.
It was the first win for Buffalo since a 4-1 victory at New Jersey on Feb. 23, and ended an 0-15-3 streak. The slump was tied for the league’s 14th longest, and worst since the Pittsburgh Penguins had a 0-17-1 stretch during the 2003-04 season.
