Byram lifts Sabres over Senators 3-2 in OT for first 7-game win streak in 7
years
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) --- Bowen Byram scored his second goal of the game 31
seconds into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on
Tuesday night, extending their win streak to seven heading into the Christmas
break.
It marks the first seven-game winning streak for the Sabres (18-14-4) since
November 2018.
Noah Ostlund also scored for Buffalo, with an assist from Byram, and Alex Lyon
made 24 saves.
Ridly Greig and Tim Stutzle each had a goal for the Senators, who had won four
in a row. Linus Ullmark stopped 22 shots.
Stutzle extended his point streak to eight games (7 goals, 8 assists).
Ottawa (18-13-5) had an opportunity to take the lead after Alex Tuch was
assessed a hooking penalty with 1:51 left in the third period, but the Senators
were unable to capitalize.
Both teams generated a number of chances in the first two periods, but neither
created much in the third until Drake Batherson had a great chance late in the
period only to get robbed by Lyon.
The game marked Josh Norris' first appearance in Ottawa since being traded to
Buffalo at the deadline last season.
Up next Sabres: Host the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Senators: Visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday. ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl |
