Krebs tied the game with his first goal of the season at 10:53 off assists from Dahlin and Jordan Greenway. Buffalo gave up a pair of goals 24 seconds apart later in the period to end up down two after 40 minutes. In the third period, the Sabres owned a 15-6 shot advantage with both teams scoring once, leaving them on the wron g end of the scoreboard. After giving up a goal to trail 6-3, JJ Peterka closed the scoring with his 10th goal of the year at 16:42 off assists from Cozens and Benson. That was as close as the Sabres would get in the game. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 14 saves for Buffalo, who owned a 46-20 shot advantage, in the loss. He is expected to get the call in goal again here.
