The Sabres are on a long train trip through the Midwest. That is how teams traveled during this time, all the way up until the late 1960s when the NHL expanded in real life.

10/17: BOS 7, BUF 0; Goals- BOS: Smith 2 (5, PP), Gallinger 2 (4), Dumart (5), Schmidt (3), Henderson (2); A- 12,638

The Sabres get completely dominated at Boston Garden, allowing 58 shots on goal and trailing 6-0 after 2 periods. Johnny Bower finnishes the game out (Marois started) or it could have been double digits.

10/19: DET 4, BUF 2; Goals- DET: McFadden (5), Stewart (2), Conacher (4), Couture (3, EN); BUF- Oberg (3), Cunliffe (2); A- 13,004

A brutal loss at Olympia Stadium, as Buffalo leads 2-0 after two periods, but allows 4 goals in the 3rd period, leading until there was 1:24 left when the Red Wings scored twice in 10 seconds.

10/20: DET 4, BUF 1; Goals- DET: Abel (4), Couture (4), Lundy (2), Horeck (1, EN); BUF: Bauer (4); A- 12,100

Another difficult loss, with the Sabres getting outshot again 48-20, including just 3 in the 3rd period.

Even after all this, Buffalo is just 2 points behind the 4th spot (Toronto) with 7 points. Montreal, Boston and Detroit have already gotten 15, 15 and 14 each. It looks like the battle will be for 4th right now.
