Takeaways: Islanders Lose 7-1 to Sabres
The New York Islanders went into the holiday break on a losing note, falling 7-1 to the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night at UBS Arena. It was a tough result for the Islanders, who followed up a rousing 6-3 win over a division leader in Toronto on Saturday with a disappointing loss to the last-place Sabres, who busted a 13-game winless skid.
