Sabres score 3 power-play goals in 4-2 win over Flames
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres knew they had a prime opportunity to bust out of their goal-scoring slump and did just that in a 4-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Monday night.
With the Flames playing their second game in two days, the Sabres reached three goals in a game for the first time in 11 chances, since a 3-1 win at Winnipeg on Oct. 30. Kyle Okposo, Johan Larsson, Matt Moulson and Marcus Foligno scored for Buffalo, which has won consecutive games for just the second time this season.
“I just think it’s huge getting four goals,” Okposo said. “That’s a team that’s coming off a back-to-back and if we played well we thought that we could get those two points and we did that. We executed our gameplan and were able to get two big points. So hopefully we can take that confidence into Wednesday and roll with it.”
The Flames took a 1-0 lead into the second period, but the Sabres answered with three goals in a span of 101 seconds in the second.
