 Darren Helm netted a short-handed goal and Gustav Nyquist added a
power-play tally while Petr Mrazek made 25 saves for the Red Wings.
Tatar continued to be a thorn in the Sabres' side this season,
scoring four of Detroit's 11 goals over the first three contests of
the four-game season series.
Defenseman Mike Weber recorded the lone tally for Buffalo, which has
not won in regulation since Dec. 11. Michal Neuvirth stopped 27
shots for the Sabres, who retired Dominik Hasek's No. 39 during a
pregame ceremony.
Tatar backhanded a rebound past Neuvirth 1:45 after Weber got the
Sabres on the board at 13:24 of the second period. Nyquist
registered his ninth power-play goal 7:34 into the session to give
Detroit a 2-0 advantage.
Helm opened the scoring 9:42 into the game with a wrist shot that
sailed past Neuvirth’s blocker. It was the league-worst seventh
short-handed goal allowed by the Sabres this season.
