BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Sam Reinhart scored three times, including a game-sealing empty-netter, and the Buffalo Sabres avoided a third-period collapse in a 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins on Friday night.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 36 shots in his NHL debut, and the Sabres ended the Bruins’ season-best six-game winning streak.
Rasmus Dahlin had a goal and assist as Buffalo snapped an 0-8-2 skid against the Bruins, dating to a 4-2 win on Dec. 16, 2018.
Casey Mittelstadt and Arttu Ruotsalainen also scored for Buffalo, which bounced back after being outscored 7-1 in losing the first two games of a three-game homestand against Boston, including a 5-1 loss on Thursday.
