Teamwork on top line keeps Sabres sizzling

The score sheet shows the Sabres’ latest victory was a team effort. A whopping 13 players recorded a point, the first time that’s happened since an 8-2 victory over Atlanta in March 2011.

But there’s no doubt Friday’s onslaught started at the top.

The Sabres’ No. 1 line of Ryan O’Reilly, Evander Kane and Sam Reinhart had another impressive night, kick-starting Buffalo toward a 5-2 win over Arizona. The trio combined for three goals, one assist and turned the game in the Sabres’ favor with a chance-filled second period.
