The Buffalo Sabres have gone through difficult times as an expansion club this year. They win a game in Montreal then go on another long losing streak. The same followed up a win against the Maple Leafs.

11/28: CHI 3, BUF 1; CHI: Gee (11), Nattrass (2), Mariucci (2), BUF: Carnegie (4); A- 15,394

Sabres lose with two 3rd period goals, allowing 47 shots on goal for the game.

12/1: NYR 4, BUF 3; NYR: Warwick (7), Colville (2), Hextall (4), Laprade (10); BUF: Carnegie (5), Bauer (6), Grosso (3, PP); A- 6,810

A tough one goal loss as Buffalo couldn't get the tying goal in the 3rd after cutting it to one with 11:41 left.

12/2: BUF 4, DET 4; DET: Couture (9), Kelly (8, PP), Guidolin (12), Quackenbush (6); BUF: Cunliffe (9), Dawe (1, PP), Oberg (13), Stanley (4); A- 7,254

The Sabres come back from a 4-1 3rd period deficit to tie the contest, earning a standing ovation from the crowd at Memorial Auditorium.

12/6: MON 2, BUF 0; MON: Blake (8, PP), Maurice Richard (18, EN); A- 12,179

A tough loss in the Forum as Buffalo holds Montreal scoreless until there were 18 seconds left in the 2nd period, even though they were outshot 43-19.

12/7: NYR 6, BUF 2; NYR: Watson (10), Dickens (1, PP), Russell (3), O'Connor 3 (6); BUF: Smith (4), Cunliffe (10); A- 6,937

Buddy O'Connor's hat trick stems off a Buffalo charge, with 3 goals in an incredible 1:20 of play in the 2nd period.

12/9: TOR 6, BUF 3; TOR: Kennedy (12), Ezinicki (13), Bodnar (9), Apps 3 (8), BUF: Buchanan (1), Brown (6), Cunliffe (11); A- 8,962

The Sabres give up another hat trick, this time by Syl Apps, and spread over two periods instead of a much shorter time.

Buffalo is 6-25-2 at the midpoint of the year with 14 points. The 6th place Rangers have 28, and Boston is the closest playoff team at 34 points.
