Jeremy Lauzon scored his first as a member of the Predators, but Nashville ultimately fell to the Buffalo Sabres by a 4-3 final on Friday night at KeyBank Center. The result brings an end to Nashville's two-game win streak and keeps them at 82 points to start the final month of the regular season.
Filip Forsberg and Michael McCarron also tallied in Buffalo, and Juuse Saros made 31 saves in net for Nashville, but the Preds were unable to find a way to collect points in western New York.
