Sabres' Robin Lehner: Dinged five times in loss to Habs

Lehner gave up five goals on 35 shots in Tuesday's road loss to Montreal.

Analysis:

He allowed Max Pacioretty to lead the way with a hat trick split between all three periods evenly. Lehner gave up four goals in his final start before the break and has only held the opposition under three scores in two of his last nine outings, a stretch that has his formerly strong ratios sagging toward mediocrity. He could start yielding more starts to Anders Nilsson if things keep going this way.
