The goal spoiled a fantastic performance by Lehner, who made 33 saves on 35 shots in just his second start since sustaining an ankle injury during the first game of the season.
The 24-year-old has not won since Feb. 14.
Buffalo, which falls to 19-24-4 with the loss, jumped out to an early lead on Evander Kane's 10th goal of the season, but couldn't beat Semyon Varlamov the rest of the way.
