BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres entered Thursday's game in desperate need of a win, and they had to do it without interim coach Dan Granato and assistant Matt Ellis.
With those two self-isolating, Sabres general manager Kevyn Adams served as head coach Thursday night in Pittsburgh, where they took on the Penguins. Granato and Ellis were placed in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol.
The Sabres lost again on Thursday night, this time 4-0 to the Penguins. Their last win came on February 23 at New Jersey, against the Devils.
Buffalo has gone 0-14-2 in its past 16 games, which represents a record for franchise futility since the shootout was introduced during the 2005-06 season in the NHL.
