The Buffalo Sabres stormed back from a two-goal, third-period deficit but fell to the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 in overtime at Honda Center on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Despite the loss, the Sabres maintained their four-point lead over the Tampa Bay Lightning (who also lost in overtime Sunday) for first place in the Atlantic Division.<\/p>\n
Buffalo also extended its franchise-record road point streak to 14 games (12-0-2), becoming the 16th team in NHL history to do so.<\/p>\n
The Sabres trailed 4-2 entering the third period before surging ahead on three goals scored in a span of 6:57 by Jack Quinn, Owen Power and Zach Benson.<\/p>\n
The Ducks responded on a late power-play goal from Mikael Granlund, who scored with goaltender Ville Husso pulled for a 6-on-4 advantage. Troy Terry scored the winner on a breakaway 1:29 into overtime.<\/p>\n
Alex Lyon had his 10-game road winning streak snapped, one shy of tying the NHL record held by Devan Dubnyk and Evgeni Nabokov.<\/p>\n
Alex Tuch and Josh Doan scored for the Sabres in addition to the late goals from Quinn, Power and Benson. Rasmus Dahlin had a pair of assists.<\/p>\n
The Sabres complete their four-game, Pacific Division road trip having earned seven of eight possible points. They return home for a four-game homestand beginning Wednesday against Boston.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Buffalo Sabres stormed back from a two-goal, third-period deficit but fell to the Anaheim Ducks 6-5 in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232155,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-232154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232154\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232155"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
