Buffalo Beats Back Bolts

Sabres Slay Tampa Bay with Dylan Cozens OT goal

Buffalo wins in overtime beginning a four-game home stand by beating Tampa Bay for the third consecutive meeting between these Eastern Conference teams, but not before Buffalo’s 2016 sixth-round 159^th pick the Lightning’s Mr. Hagel scored twice the second goal tying the game with seven seconds remaining.

Buffalo’s Girgensons opened the scoring by receiving a nifty pass from his center Mr. Jost and even a better pass from defenseman Mr. Power gave Mr. Skinner time and a gapping net to place the puck top shelf where Momma hides the cookies building a two-goal lead.
