NHL Recap: Sabres Extend Losing Streak to Eight, Batherson's Hat-Trick Sinks Ducks

Two games lit up the NHL stage last night as teams battled it out in the regular season.

The Buffalo Sabres endured their eighth consecutive loss, falling 2-3 at home to the New York Rangers. Adam Fox played a pivotal role for the visitors, contributing to all three goals with one of his own and two assists.

The right winger not only netted three goals but also registered an assist, marking his 100th NHL goal in style. His dominant performance lifted the Senators to a comfortable win.
