‘Buffalo has lost all three of its road games so far this season, scoring only six goals. Jason Pominville scored twice for the Sabres, who suffered two injuries in the defeat. Defenseman Dmitri Kalinin left the game with a leg injury in the second period and did not return. Center Paul Gaustad was helped off the ice in the second period after Carolina’s Mike Commodore clipped him in the face with the followthrough of his shot. He didn’t return, either.’
