The Ottawa Senators made a late push in Buffalo, but couldn't find a way to earn their first win of this road trip.
Despite a hearty comeback from a three-goal deficit, to have a shot at tying the game with the empty net, the Senators couldn't find a way to put a fourth goal past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.
The game got off to a tough start as Sens goaltender Anton Forsberg left with a groin injury and could not return. This forced Joonas Korpisalo back into action to close out the road trip.
Despite falling behind 4-1 early in the second period the Senators settled down and were able to push the pace and were able to bring the game within a single goal with just under 9 minutes remaining in the third when Claude Girous scored his second of the game.
