Tage Thompson’s late third-period goal sealed a five-to-three Sabres win over the Panthers Monday at KeyBank Center. Buffalo is now three and three.
The Sabres led three times, and three times Florida answered. Josh Doan, Rasmus Dahlin and Ryan McLeod gave Buffalo the leads, while Sam Reinhart scored two power-play goals for the Panthers. Noah Östlund’s power-play goal early in the third was the game-winner. Buffalo went two for five on the power play.
Colten Ellis was pulled after two goals on nine shots, and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped thirteen in relief.
The cost: Dahlin left in the second period with an upper-body injury. He’s day-to-day and didn’t travel to Montreal.
Puck drop at Montreal is six-thirty Tuesday.
