Sam Reinhart scores tiebreaker in third, Sabres beat Senators 2-1
OTTAWA — The Ottawa Senators were hoping one day Robin Lehner would emerge as their No. 1 goaltender. On Saturday he came back to town and beat them as a member of the Buffalo Sabres.
Lehner, who the Sabres acquired from Ottawa prior to last season, made 31 saves as Buffalo came from behind to defeat the Senators 2-1.
“That’s the big reason why we won,” Sabres forward Sam Reinhart said of Lehner’s play.
“He was the one guy for the full 60 minutes that gave it his all and was really the big reason why we won that game.”
