BUFFALO — Fans were decked out in tuxedos and gowns hoping to end 2014 with a Sabres victory to celebrate. Instead, they walked out of First Niagara Center with a 5-1 loss to the Tampa Lightning.
Tampa started the party pooping at 7:48 of the first period when Matthew Carle scored on a slapshot from Ondrej Palat. Tyler Ennis got the fans back in the festive mood with a power play goal at 12:33, assisted by Nikita Zadorov and Matt Moulson.
That was all the celebrating Sabres fans would do, as Tampa scored the next four goals, starting with a power play goal by Palat at 19:02 of the second period. Tyler Johnson and Nikita Kucherov assisted on the goal.
In the third, Brett Connolly scored on a backhand shot at 5:20, assisted by Anton Stralman and Palat. Kucherov made it 4-1 at 8:40, assisted by Johnson and Stralman. Finally, at 18:05, Kucherov tallied another on a snap shot. Palat and Johnson got the assists.
The Sabres got just 11 shots on goal during the game. They next play the Florida Panthers on Friday.
