Josh Doan netted his first goals with Buffalo by producing two power-play markers, goaltender Alex Lyon denied all 32 Florida shots, and the Sabres blanked the visiting Panthers 3-0 on Saturday afternoon.

Owen Power also scored for the Sabres, who beat the Ottawa Senators 8-4 on Wednesday and were 2-for-4 on the power play Saturday while killing off all seven opposing man advantages.
