Fowl play during an 11 penalty first period
Sabres 3 – Ducks 2 Here along the Lake the Sabres have won their sixth consecutive home game in stunning fashion coming from two goals down during the third period to win without a powerplay or empty net goal.
The Ducks scored twice with the power play, a two-man advantage and a one-man advantage to carry a 2-0 lead into the final period of play.
In the first nine and half minutes Buffalo scored three times with the initial tally coming in the first two minutes of the third period, then three minutes later RW Tuch scored his 20th of the season.
D Jokiharju scored an incredible short-side, upper corner, with barely enough space for the puck to go through shot nearly halfway through the period that was similar to the one he scored for Finland during the 4 Nations Face-Off Tournament.
Buffalo takes both contests from Anaheim in their two-game season series by the identical 3-2 score, next up the Hurricanes as the Sabres travel to Raleigh for tomorrow night’s game.
