Brayden Schenn had a goal and an\u00a0assist, Bo Horvat had two assists, and Ilya Sorokin made 29 saves for the Islanders (42-29-5), who were coming off an 8-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday.<\/p>\n

Quinn gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 14:19 of the first period. Fresh off the bench, Quinn picked up the puck at the left point and skated it to the circle, where he scored with a wrist shot that beat Sorokin to the far side.<\/p>\n
Anders Lee had a chance to tie it at 6:34 of the second period, but Luukkonen gloved his backhand attempt on a penalty shot.<\/p>\n
Calum Ritchie did tie it 1-1 on a power play at 17:57 of the second. Schenn took a pass from Horvat at the right side of the crease and quickly sent a cross-crease feed to Ritchie for a backdoor tap-in.<\/p>\n
Thompson put the Sabres back in front 2-1 at 2:40 of the third period. He received a pass from Josh Norris in the high slot and put a wrist shot blocker side on Sorokin for another power-play goal.<\/p>\n
