Senators blank Sabres 2-0

The Sabres spent a lot of time and energy killing penalties instead of generating offense, leading to a 2-0 loss at Ottawa Tuesday night.

Buffalo actually out-shot the Senators 42-31, but could not convert those shots into goals.

Ryan Miller had a solid night between the pipes, stopping 29 shots. He gave up a pair of goals in the last five minutes of the second period, and those turned out to be the difference.

Erik Karlsson registered the game's first goal, short-handed off a Sabres turnover.

Erik Condra scored moments later to give Ottawa its second goal of the game.

Craig Anderson finished with 42 saves for the shutout. The Sabres ended up with nine penalties in the game.

Buffalo hosts Boston Friday night, marking the first time in three weeks they will have two days off between games.
