MONTREAL — Cole Caufield scored twice, including the overtime winner, to lift the Montreal Canadiens past the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 on Saturday night. Caufield went on a breakaway after Josh Norris missed his shot on a three-on-one rush before ripping a shot into the top-left corner 54 seconds into the extra period. Zachary Bolduc and Alexandre Texier also scored as Montreal (4-3-1) built a two-goal lead before Buffalo stormed back. Juraj Slafkovsky and Alexandre Carrier added two assists each. Jacob Fowler stopped 23 shots in his fourth start in five games. Jack Quinn, Tage Thompson and Norris replied for Buffalo (4-3-2), which fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Canadiens on Tuesday. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 30 saves. Thompson tied the game 3-3 with 9:48 remaining in the third period after Josh Doan found him alone at the side of the net to eventually force overtime. Norris opened the scoring for the Sabres at 8:21 in a sluggish first period for the Canadiens, tallying his second goal this season on a rebound after Montreal defenceman David Reinbacher turned the puck over in the neutral zone. The Canadiens broke out of a sluggish start with a tying goal on their first shot.

Power scores in overtime as Sabres rally past Leafs; Tavares leaves game early - TSN

TORONTO — Owen Power had the overtime winner as the Buffalo Sabres reeled off three unanswered goals to rally past the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 on Thursday. Jack Quinn had a pair of goals for Buffalo (4-3-1) before Dennis Gilbert and Mattias Samuelsson scored in the third to tie it 4-4. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 26 shots in net for the win. Kirill Marchenko had a hat trick, the fifth of his career, in his 300th NHL game to give Toronto (3-3-2) a 4-2 lead. Auston Matthews opened the scoring and John Tavares added two assists before the Sabres battled back in the third. Sergei Bobrovsky made 29 saves for the Maple Leafs. Marchenko was traded by the Columbus Blue Jackets to Toronto on Sept. 28, just before the season began and had only scored once in a Maple Leafs sweater before Thursday’s game. Tavares left the game early in the third after he collided with Buffalo forward Josh Norris. The former Toronto captain appeared to favour his left leg as he skated off the ice.
