The Buffalo Sabres wouldn’t go quietly. Owen Power scored with thirty-eight seconds left in overtime, and Buffalo rallied from two goals down to beat the Minnesota Wild three to two Tuesday night.
Minnesota scored twice in one minute and forty-five seconds in the second period, Danila Yurov on the power play and Maxim Shabanov. Then Noah Ostlund cut the lead in half early in the third, and Tage Thompson tied it midway through the period. Power ended it, finishing a pass from Jiri Kulich.
Buffalo outshot Minnesota twenty-eight to twenty, but Wild goalie Jesper Wallstedt stopped twenty-five. At the other end, Colten Ellis, making his first appearance of the season, turned aside eighteen of twenty shots, and he was perfect after those two second-period goals. The Sabres are two and one.
Buffalo is back on home ice Thursday night against Dallas. Puck drop is seven o’clock.
