Buffalo bested in overtime
Sabres 3 – Maple Leafs 4 (OT) The Sabres overall played well except for goaltending, a dismal .818% save percentage by (G) Luukkonen who let in four goals on just 22 SOG and was burned easily on Toronto’s first shot 88 seconds into overtime that lost the game for Buffalo.
Sabres (C) Thompson scored twice, once on the power play, Buffalo killed off all three penalties, had one goal taken away because of goaltender interference,(RW) Tuch standing up for a teammate that was cheaply cross checked earned a 10-minute misconduct for instigating the fight, (D) Byram scored his first goal of the season, and (D) Timmins recorded another three blocks.
The Sabres are 4-4-1 and get a well-deserved break until Tuesday when Buffalo hosts Columbus at 6:45 pm.
