WASHINGTON (AP) Alex Tuch scored two goals, including the winner in overtime, to lead the Washington Capitals to a win over the Buffalo Sabres, 4-3 on Saturday night. Charlie Lindgren made 18 saves for the Capitals. Tuch opened the scoring for Washington when a pass bounced off Tage Thompson’s stick and into his own net. Dylan Strome scored 2:59 into the second period, then once more with 2:36 left in the period. Tuch was acquired this summer by the Capitals from the Sabres via sign-and-trade. He signed an eight-year, $84 million deal to help bolster the Capitals' offense. Jack Quinn and Josh Doan scored early for Buffalo to put the visitors up by two. The Capitals’ offense found its footing, though, and turned up the pressure on the Sabres’ defense to gain the lead in the second period, only to have Noah Ostlund tie it once again 2:20 into the third period. The game remained tied through the remainder of the third period, despite multiple power play opportunities and scoring chances for both teams. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 30 saves for the Sabres. The Capitals were coming off a loss to the previously winless Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday.

On a night recognizing the 2004 team that came one win away from winning the Stanley Cup, the Flames did their best impression of that lunch pail crew to secure their third win in a row.

When Liam Hicks homered in the first inning on Saturday, the Rays seemed well on their way to a Game 2 win. But thanks to a persistent offence and impressive bullpen, the Brewers rallied back to take a commanding 2-0 lead in the World Series.

BOSTON (AP) James Hagens and David Pastrnak scored in a 40-second span in the third period, and the Boston Bruins extended their points streak to eight games with a 6-4 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. Casey Mittelstadt, Marat Khusnutdinov, Fraser Minten and Will Morgan also scored for the Bruins, who have won seven of their past eight. Jeremy Swayman made 21 saves for his seventh victory. Michael Misa, Kiefer Sherwood, Dmitry Orlov and Will Smith scored for San Jose, and Alex Nedeljkovic made 29 saves. The Sharks had won two in a row. The game was tied at 2-2 through two periods, with the Sharks responding each time the Bruins took a one-goal lead. San Jose took its first lead of the game when Orlove fired a one-timer on the power play at 4:03 of the third. It was the third special-teams goal of the game for the Sharks and Orlove’s second goal of the season. Pastrnak exited the penalty box and took a feed from J. J. Peterka before firing in a shot from the right circle for his seventh goal at 8:27 of the third. The tying goal pushed Pastrnak into a tie for third place with former Bruin Patrice Bergeron in career goals (427). Sharks: Host Buffalo on Tuesday night

Published: October 24, 2026 at 10:51p.m. EDTThe Edmonton Oilers will be without goaltender Devon Levi for a couple weeks, according to TSN’s Ryan Rishaug. The netminder was placed on the injured reserve list on Friday with an undisclosed injury. The team called up goaltender Matt Tomkins from the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors as a corresponding move. Levi started Thursday’s 6-5 shootout win over the Carolina Hurricanes and stopped 22 of 27 shots to earn the victory. Tristan Jarry started Saturday for the Oilers, who fell 7-2 to the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs. Jarry allowed five goals on 30 shots in the defeat. Levi, 24, holds a 6-1-0 record in seven games this season, his first with the Oilers, while posting a 3.11 goals-against average and .887 save percentage. The Oilers (8-2-1) will be back in action on Monday at home against the Detroit Red Wings.
