BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Josh Doan scored two power-play goals, Alex Lyon made 32 saves and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Florida Panthers 3-0 on Saturday.

Owen Power also scored for Buffalo, which earned its second straight win since losing its first three games of the season. It was Lyon’s first shutout since Oct. 22, 2024, for Detroit against the New York Islanders.

Sergei Bobrovsky stopped 28 shots for Florida in its fourth consecutive loss since the two-time defending Stanley Cup champions began the season with three straight wins. Defenseman Niko Mikkola departed in the second period with an upper-body injury.
