'Despite what the score indicates, Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton had another solid evening, at least in my opinion. He made some nice saves to keep the Sabres within striking distance early and was beat by a redirection and three shots where his teammates failed to give him any help.

Five observations from Sabres 3-2 preseason loss to the Maple Leafs
