Sabres fall to Red Wings, 2-1
DETROIT – Bowen Byram felt the Buffalo Sabres managed the demands of playing on back-to-back nights better than they had since he joined the team last season, adhering to the message from coach Lindy Ruff and taking a smart, efficient approach through to the end.
The difference in their 2-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday, Byram and Ruff agreed, simply came down to special teams.
“I thought we played hard,” Byram said. “I thought we played a pretty good game. I mean, in terms of back-to-backs since I’ve been here, that’s the best one we’ve played. You’ve got to find positives in things, and I think that’s a big positive for us.
“A negative is our PK gives up two goals and that ends up winning them the game. That’s unacceptable, so, at the end of the day, whenever you lose a few in a row you’ve got to regroup and forget about the last one, learn from it, and get ready to go again. It’s no different for us. We’ll learn from it and keep moving forward.”
