The Buffalo Sabres lost a franchise-worst 15th straight game Wednesday after falling 5-2 to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Sabres surrendered the first two goals of the contest before Rasmus Dahlin cut the lead to one in the first period. The Penguins controlled the game from there, scoring three more times and outshooting Buffalo 42-28.

With an 0-13-2 record in their past 15 games, the Sabres now hold the longest winless skid since the shootout was introduced in 2005-06, according to The Atheltic's John Vogl.

The longest losing streak in NHL history is 17 games, which occurred three different times - Washington Capitals in the 1974-75 season and San Jose Sharks twice during the 1992-93 campaign.

With their starting goaltender Linus Ullmark sidelined for the entire losing streak due to an injury, the Sabres have been outscored 63-25 over the 15-game span.

Buffalo's last win came against the New Jersey Devils on Feb. 23.
