Finally, the Sabres scored as Alex Tuch scored his fifth of the season, cutting the lead in half at 2-1. Jet forward Nikolaj Ehlers scored at 08:12, restoring his team’s two-goal lead.
Buffalo’s JJ Peterka closed the gap to 3-2 at the 01:00 mark of the third, with assists from Rasmus Dahlin and Zach Benson. However, that’s all the Sabres could muster, as their season record dropped to 7-9-1.
The Sabres’ next game will be played Sunday at 8:00 pm ET against the Chicago Blackhawks inside the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
