The Toronto Maple Leafs suffered a significant defeat, conceding nine goals in a 9-3 game against the Buffalo Sabres. This loss marks only the second occasion since 1991 that the Leafs have allowed nine goals, the last being a 9-2 loss to the Nashville Predators on November 18, 2014, a game that preceded the infamous 'Salute Gate' incident. The game ended with a score of 9-3 and was described as 'embarrassing' by multiple sources, including Leafs star Auston Matthews, who stated it was 'probably the worst game since I've been here.' The Sabres' victory was highlighted by a notable performance from Skinner, who scored twice in the rout.

Auston Matthews called the 9-3 loss to the #Sabres an embarassment and one of the worst games the #Leafs have played since he joined the team.
Auston Matthews: I think just collectively, probably one of the worst games since I've been here.
“Embarrassing is the word I’d use,” says Auston Matthews. “Probably the worst game since I’ve been here.”
#Leafs lose 9-3. Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe it.
Leafs absolutely embarrassing tonight in Buffalo. Nine goals against.
This is only the second time the Leafs have allowed nine goals in a game since 1991. Last one was the ugly 9-2 Nashville home game in 2014 that preceded Salute Gate.
First time since Nov. 18, 2014, in a 9-2 loss to Nashville that the #Leafs have allowed nine goals in one game.
The last time the Maple Leafs gave up 9 goals in a game? November 18, 2014, against the Nashville Predators.
