The Buffalo Sabres got back in the win column on Tuesday evening. After another tough matchup with the Seattle Kraken Monday, the blue and gold rebounded with a promising 3-2 win in Vancouver over the Canucks.

Jiri Kulich had a goal and two assists and the Buffalo Sabres rallied to beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday night. JJ Peterka also scored and had an assist for the Sabres, while Tage Thompson scored his team-leading 21st of the season.

His best sequence of the night came with seconds left on the clock when Vancouver's Brock Boeser blasted a shot on net from the top of the faceoff circle and Luukkonen denied him with his left pad. The puck popped out to Conor Garland as he crashed the net and tried to poke in the rebound, only to see Luukkonen deny him with his left skate.

Tage Thompson, Jiri Kulich and JJ Peterka each found the back of the net, with Peterka’s late tally proving to be the game winner. It marked the Sabres’ third win this season when trailing after two periods, and their first since Nov. 23 at San Jose.
