Sabres' Lehner continues dominance over Senators
Robin Lehner sure enjoys playing against his old team.
The Buffalo Sabres goaltender, who made 39 saves Tuesday in a win over Ottawa, improved his career record to 4-0-2 against the Senators. And in those six games, he's posted a .959 save percentage and 1.30 goals-against average, per Sabres PR.
Lehner was drafted in the second round of the 2009 NHL Draft by the Senators, and was traded to the division-rival Sabres along with David Legwand in 2015 for a first-round pick that year. Ottawa selected promising center Colin White with that pick.
The goalie recently called out teammates after a loss to Vancouver, and later made it clear he too needs to step up in order to help the Sabres stay relatively close to playoff contention.
A date with the Senators, then, appears to have been just what the doctor ordered in terms of backing that up.
Tuesday's game was the final meeting between the two teams this season.
