An early deficit held up on Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena, where the Buffalo Sabres fell 3-1 to the Vegas Golden Knights.
After winning Sunday in St. Louis, the Sabres lost three straight games to finish their road trip with a 1-2-1 record.
Jason Zucker scored the lone goal for the Sabres, his 15th of the season, to extend his four-game goal streak. Rasmus Dahlin and JJ Peterka assisted on the power-play tally. Tage Thompson recorded a team-high five shots on goal.
Sabres goaltender James Reimer made 30 saves on 33 shots in his first game since Dec. 21 – Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen had started five straight for Buffalo entering Saturday.
Tanner Laczynski got Vegas on the board with his first of the season. Mark Stone and Jack Eichel (1+1) also scored for Vegas, while Tanner Pearson had two assists. Goalie Adin Hill stopped 23 of 24 shots.
Buffalo went 1-for-3 on the power play and successfully killed both shorthanded situations.
