Sabres' Robin Lehner: Tough loss Wednesday

Lehner only allowed one goal on 24 shots against the Red Wings in regulation Wednesday, but the brawny netminder faltered in the shootout.

Analysis:

Lehner was beaten by Gustav Nyquist in regulation and in the shootout stanza, and former Sabre Thomas Vanek collected a helper on the lone goal before sinking the game-winner with a slick wrister that sailed over Lehner's glove to give Buffalo its fifth overtime loss of the season. While the Sabres' No. 1 tender has fared well on the whole this year, he's only claimed one victory in his last seven starts thanks to lackluster offensive support, making it difficult to trust him in most fantasy settings.
