BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Josh Doan opened and closed the scoring with power-play
goals and the Buffalo Sabres outlasted the Tampa Bay Lightning 8-7 on Sunday
night in a wild and feisty showdown for the Atlantic Division lead.
Doan broke a tie with 4:17 left with his 21st goal of the season, helping the
Sabres win their seventh straight and move two points ahead of the Lighting.
The teams combined for 100 penalty minutes in a game that included five fights
and a postgame scrum. They'll meet one more time in the regular season on April
6 in Buffalo.
Doan capped a two-goal, third-period comeback for Buffalo in a game the Sabres
led by three goals.
Alex Tuch and Jason Zucker also scored twice for the Sabres. Sam Carrick and
Rasmus Dahlin added goals, Tage Thompson had four assists and Bo Byram three.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 21 saves.
Nikita Kucherov had two goals and an assist for the Lightning, who have lost
five of their last six. J.J. Moser, Corey Perry, Brandon Hagel, Brayden Point,
and Zemgus Girgensons also scored, and Jonas Johansson made 34 saves.
Up next Lightning: Host Columbus on Tuesday night. Sabres: Host San Jose on Tuesday night. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl |
