The Buffalo Sabres seem to somehow have the number of the Ottawa Senators as they now hold a 3-0 series lead; 3-2 in regulation after being up 2-1.
Period I
Captain Brady Tkachuk opened the scoring from the early Tage Thompson high-sticking penalty. The forward’s powerplay goal is his 29th of the regular season from Drake Batherson and former Sabre Dylan Cozens.
Jack Quinn rallied the home club late in the first for his 11th of the regular season from JJ Peterka and Ryan McLeod.
Period II
David Perron answered the call on the Peterka unsportsmanlike penalty for his seventh goal of the regular season from Ridly Greig and Claude Giroux.
Jacob Bernard-Docker scored his first goal as a Sabre to even the game at two. His second of the year was aided by Tyson Kozak’s first ever assist; former Vegas Knight first rounder Peyton Krebs had the secondary helper.
Period III
Tage Thompson potted the winner 85 seconds into the final frame for his 35th of the year from Zach Benson and captain Rasmus Dahlin.
