The Buffalo Sabres won two of three games last week, defeating both Minnesota and Washington. They fell to Boston in between, but overall, it was a strong week for the Buffalo Sabres.
The week began with the Sabres playing out the end of their road trip in Minnesota on Tuesday.
The Buffalo Sabres scored three times in the first period and held on for an eventual 3-2 victory over the Wild.
Jamie McGinn opened the scoring with his ninth of the season less than halfway through the first.
Rasmus Ristolainen added his eighth of the season later in the first, just twenty seconds before Buffalo Sabres captain Brian Gionta made it a three-goal game.
