Jason Zucker scored for the Sabres (11-13-4), who won 5-1 against the Jets in Buffalo on Monday. They have lost four of six (2-4-0), including the first two games of a six-game road trip. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 19 saves.<\/p>\n
Connor made it 1-0 Jets at 4:24 of the first period, scoring on his own rebound in the slot by sliding the puck under Luukkonen.<\/p>\n
Zucker tied it 1-1 at 14:44, jamming in a rebound in front from a Josh Norris one-timer on the power play. It was his third power-play goal in as many games.<\/p>\n

Luukkonen kept it 2-1 when he stopped Adam Lowry on a penalty shot at 10:18 of the second period.<\/p>\n
Koepke pushed the lead to 3-1 at 18:42. He settled Morgan Barron\u2019s cross-ice pass and went forehand-backhand around Luukkonen’s left pad. It was his first goal of the season and first as a member of the Jets.<\/p>\n
Scheifele appeared to extend the score to 4-1 at 13:24 of the third when he banked in a rebound short side off Luukkonen after Neal Pionk\u2019s point shot deflected off the end boards. The goal was overturned after video review.<\/p>\n
