BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) \u2014 Jack Quinn had a goal and two assists, Colten Ellis stopped 27 shots in his NHL debut and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Claimed off waivers from St. Lous earlier this month, Ellis stopped two breakaways and withstood a flurry of shots after Detroit pulled goalie John Gibson with about three minutes left.<\/p>\n
Buffalo’s Tyson Kozak scored for the second straight game and Jason Zucker had a goal before leaving in the second period with an upper-body injury. Josh Doan also scored for the Sabres. <\/p>\n
J.T. Compher and Emmitt Finnie scored for Detroit, which had won five straight. Gibson had 27 saves and Dylan Larkin had an assist.<\/p>\n
Ellis became the eighth Nova Scotia-born goalie in NHL history and the ninth goalie in Sabres history to win his NHL debut. The 25-year-old didn\u2019t face a shot in the opening 10 minutes, but stopped Marco Kasper on a breakaway late in the first period.<\/p>\n
Ellis stopped Larkin on another breakaway early in the second period before Compher beat him on a nifty move, corralling a pass from Albert Johansson and whipping it to his forehand.<\/p>\n
Zucker scored on a 2-on-1 with Quinn midway through the second and Kozak made it 2-1 after a short pass from Quinn.<\/p>\n
Finnie tied it late in the period by charging to the front of the net and one-timing a pass from Larkin.<\/p>\n
Quinn scored from between the circles early in the third period and Doan beat Gibson from the left circle to make it 4-2.<\/p>\n
