Spoiler Sabres Stop Jets from clinching playoffs

Sabres 5 – Jets 3 (en) Winnipeg fans were primed for an easy win against a team fourth from the bottom of the League but Sabres Goaltender Reimer who allowed the high-flying Jets one power play goal on three attempts and eventually stopped 33 of 36 SOG had other plans.

RW Tuch scored his fourth shorty bringing Buffalo’s total to six shorthanded goals thus far, interesting that in nine seasons RW Tuch had scored three shorthanded goals before scoring four for Buffalo this season.

Buffalo’s Center McLeod had a career game with one goal and three assists for his first four-point single game total joining four other Sabres who also earned four-point games this season.

The Sabres can ride the rush of victory against one of the best teams in the NHL as they come home for two games versus Ottawa and Pittsburgh this Tuesday (25th at 7pm) and Thursday (27th at 7pm).
