EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) — Eric Comrie made 46 saves to help the Buffalo Sabres beat the Edmonton Oilers 4-2 on Tuesday night.
Rasmus Dahlin, Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch and J.J. Peterka scored for Buffalo. The Sabres improved to 2-1.
Dahlin joined Lindy Ruff as the second defenseman in franchise history to score in each of the first three games in a season.
Darnell Nurse and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had goals for Oilers. They are 1-2.
Buffalo took a 2-1 lead 46 seconds into the second period when Thompson danced around defenders and made a nice move at the net to slide the puck past goalie Stuart Skinner.
The Sabres made it 3-1 early in the second when Vinnie Hinostroza sprang Peterka for a breakaway and he put it through Skinner’s legs.
Up next, Sabres head to Calgary for a Thursday night face-off. Puck drops at 9:30pm ET.
