Buffalo Sabres head coach Ted Nolan had harsh words for his players after watching them lose 5-1 to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday.

"That was like an NHL team playing a pewee team," Nolan told reporters following the contest. The Sabres were outshot 44-12 and took six minor penalties in the loss - their third straight to start the season.

Buffalo's goal differential stands at minus-10 and Drew Stafford leads the team in points with three assists. The early results have left Nolan short of positive things to say.

The Sabres visit the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday before hosting the Florida Panthers on Friday, providing two good opportunities to earn their first victory.
