TAMPA, Fla. (WKBW) — The Sabres couldn't have asked for a better finish after falling flat Tuesday night against the Maples Leafs.

Ilya Lyubushkin was a hero in overtime, making his first goal of the season unforgettable.

Tage Thompson was another Sabres who deserved his flowers Thursday night, marking his fourth hat trick of the season.

It wasn't all glitz and glamour, Buffalo reverted back to their old ways allowing Tampa to gain momentum after creating a two-cushion lead heading into the third period.

Nonetheless, the Sabres found a way to sway back into the win column and end their seven game losing streak in Tampa since 2018.

The Sabres remain in the mix for the two wild-card playoff spots in the Eastern Conference.
