Following a loss to Columbus on Monday, the Sabres are 0-4-2 in their last six games and 5-12-4 this season. They nearly came back against the Blue Jackets, cutting a 3-0 deficit to 3-2 in the latter half of the third period, but ultimately fell short of tying the game.
Sam Reinhart scored to put the Sabres on the board in thate game, which served to sprak the team for the remainder of the night. Likewise, Pominville and fellow former Wild player Marco Scandella said the Sabres need a spark to their season, similar to what Dubnyk was for them in 2015.
"There's a lot of things that can change it," Scandella said. "It can be that. It can be just a big come-from-behind win, a big win on the road, or just stringing a couple together. That's what we need to do. We need to find a way to win a game and it's just going to open everything up."
Stringing wins together has been one of Buffalo's struggles this season, having won back-to-back games on just once occasion. Few players know better than Pominville and Scandella about what it takes to create a winning streak, having both been a part of Minnesota's 12-game streak last season.
"You just get into that rhythm and you feel good about your game, you feel good about yourself," Pominville said. "The team feels good about itself. We just felt we couldn't be denied. No matter what, we were going to win that game. It's a great feeling to have.
"We had it last year when we won [12] in a row. You find ways to win where some games you probably don't deserve to … It's definitely a fun feeling to have."
