BUFFALO -- The Buffalo Sabres failed to score a goal Friday night in a 3-0 loss at the hands of the visiting Detroit Red Wings.

The Red Wings outshot Buffalo 45-19 and scored more goals in the third period than the Sabres were able to even muster shots.

Dylan Larkin netted Detroit's first goal at 12:01 of the third, assisted by Luke Glendening and Jonathan Ericsson. Henrik Zetterberg made it 2-0 at 17:09, assisted by Larkin and Justin Abdelkader. Luke Glendening then added an empty netter at 19:11, assisted by Danny DeKeyser.

The Sabres next play the Rangers in New York on Monday.

NOTES: 

• With four successful penalty kills tonight, the Sabres have gone six straight games without allowing a power-play goal, killing 19 consecutive penalties during that span.
• The six-game stretch without allowing a power-play goal is the team's longest since they killed off all 14 penalties in a six-game span from Dec. 7 to Dec. 19, 2013.
• Buffalo's 19 straight penalties killed is the team's highest total since the Sabres killed 21 consecutive penalties from Feb. 24 to March 14, 2012.
• Robin Lehner made 42 saves in the loss, his highest single-game save total since he made 43 saves on March 15, 2014 at Montreal as a member of the Ottawa Senators.
