Kirill Marchenko did not get a chance to savour his first hat trick with the Toronto Maple Leafs. “I will remember this night for sure, but it’s so bad when we lose the game,” the 26-year-old said. “Winning is more important. And I kind of frustrated too, because it’s my mistake in overtime.”Marchenko lost his man, Owen Power, and watched as the Sabres defenceman worked a give-and-go play with Jack Quinn before beating Sergei Bobrovsky to help Buffalo steal two points in Toronto. “He just jumped by me and scored,” Marchenko said. “I will clean up that for sure ... We need to find a way [to] win these games. It’s so important for us.”The Leafs squandered a two-goal lead in the third period to fall to 3-3-2 on the season and 0-2-1 against Atlantic Division rivals. Marchenko put the Leafs in a prime position to beat the Sabres before overtime. “He’s an elite skill forward,” Bobrovsky said. “His ability to score, it’s incredible. He got long reach. Those goals, it’s pure skill.”Marchenko scored on a beautiful between-the-legs move during a first period power play. What was he thinking? “Nothing, actually,” Marchenko told TSN during an intermission interview.

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.
