‘With the loss, the Sabres (28-24-8) dropped their fourth straight game (0-3-1) while Tampa Bay won its eighth in a row. The Lightning have not lost in regulation in February, going 10-0-2. They improved to 47-11-4, pushing their NHL-leading point total to 98. They are on pace for 129, which would be three shy of Detroit’s 1995-96 record of 132.’
