The Wraparound: Sabres crumble in second period, lose sixth straight game
UNIONDALE – The first shift of the game Saturday afternoon was exactly what Ralph Krueger wanted to see from the Buffalo Sabres. Dylan Cozens, a 20-year-old rookie forward, won a puck battle behind the opposing net and skated to the front to screen Islanders goalie Semyon Varlamov. Jacob Bryson, a 23-year-old defenseman and fellow rookie, took the shot that gave the Sabres the lead 33 seconds into the first period.
