Kings can’t slow Alex Tuch or solve Alex Lyon in loss to Sabres

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Few teams have been able to stop the Buffalo Sabres in the past few months, and the Kings fared no better.

Alex Tuch had his fourth career hat trick to push his season goals total to 22, leading the surging Buffalo Sabres to a 4-1 victory over the Kings on Thursday night.

Alex Lyon made a season-high 37 saves for his 10th consecutive victory to break the franchise record set by Gerry Desjardins in December 1976.

Tuch reached 20-goal mark for the fourth straight season and fifth overall.
