Sabres end 13-game losing streak with 7-1 win over Islanders, look forward to continued success

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The Buffalo Sabres can carry the good cheer of ending the longest losing streak in the NHL this season into their holiday break. “We battled for a long time and finally it went our way,’’ said Dahlin, the first Buffalo defenseman with four assists in a game since February 2008. “It was huge to score some goals, and it was good to have a complete game,’’ said forward Jason Zucker, who scored Buffalo’s third goal. It’s a weight off our shoulders.” Tage Thompson, who leads the Sabres with 17 goals, said Monday’s win proved that focused hard work is the way forward for his team.
