The Buffalo Sabres fell to the San Jose Sharks, cementing their position at the bottom of the Eastern Conference with a disheartening 6-2 loss. Coach Lindy Ruff criticized the team's effort, noting too many players took the night off, leading to a fourth consecutive defeat. Despite Tage Thompson's 30th goal of the season, the Sabres struggled against a team that has been last in the NHL standings. The game was characterized by disappointing plays, illustrated by a lack of offensive responses to Sharks' scoring.
Too many passengers tonight. Too many guys took the night off.
Thompson's slap shot got the Sabres within a goal early in the third period, but celebrated rookie Macklin Celebrini responded for the Sharks just over a minute later.
