'Another home game, another home loss for the Sabres who still only have six wins at KeyBank Center this season. From the looks of it, Thursday was one of the most poorly attended games in years.

Of the Sabres' 28 shots, only a few seemed to be a real threat. During the recent Western Canada road trip the Sabres did a great job getting bodies in front of the net and they were rewarded.
