NHL Highlights | Sabres vs. Hurricanes – November 8, 2025

as he is getting ready. Making sure the smelling salts hit. And here we go. The Canes get back two fixtures up front. They’ll win the draw here. Wrap this one around the Sabres zone. It’ll come up the boards. Not out. Buffalo will keep it in. Turning with it is Dunn. Dunn takes a big hit from Mcian former first round pick. There are a lot of those on the Savers roster. Byum trying to throw that one out in front but into the skates of Hustland and Carolina coming the other way. Snatch the cover across. He scores. A perfect setup and Sebastian Aaho’s fifth of the year has Carolina off to the hot start. 5 minutes in it’s one- nothing. Okay, can we just sit back and watch Spetchnikov the different things he did with speed? Cut to the middle. Locate AO on his natural side for the allimp important first goal of the game. What a cut to the middle on Quinn sells the shot just enough. You could tell Lion the Buffalo Goender. Now Connor Timmons fire this one up the boards. Josean with it. Patient will help him down to the ice. Set up. Boss up from the score. Owen Power as Carolina couldn’t get to the loose puck. Buffalo feeds it to the middle of the ice and in the slot. It’s Owen Power. Breakdown in coverage here. You have a drifting situation for Spetchnikov because Power was his guy. And then you have really good pressure from Quinn on Nikesha to help to cause the turnover. Olland to power and Spetchnikov who set up Carolina’s goal had drifted and that makes the kept in by Aaho. Here’s a chance bouncing puck from LGO Hall whip this one right back. Riley he’ll get it to LGO. LGO lets the shot through off had a keeping net and rang it off of the post. Pulls this one towards Coachov. Didn’t get there then he got to stick to it. Slowed it down before Stank open. Here’s Blake turning on the jets. Blake trying to make a move with the shot right on and into the hurricane zone right over the blue line. Pretty amazing for Kogan, Stan Kovan. More on that in a minute. Here’s a chance. Thompson comes in and coachov makes the save. Coak Kami wins it. Nikesha has it across the ring. Trying to go back to Kami a little too far. Then coin buries Kak into the corner. And I said, Eric, I said and I call Eric long story. I call Mr. GQ going back to his GQ shoot after the Stanley Cup. But Rod looked like he got pretty emotional. We’ll chip this one around. AO will get to it. AO will play this one out. Sashnikov with a shot right on rebound and Lion gets to it. Opportunity for Nicki Eers to get this one back. Miller. Eers. Take it from Jarvis. Backhand pass from Miller. Chance here. They shoot. Oh, Andre Fetchnikov is having a night. A power play goal and the Canes go up two to one. Take a look at where Fetchnikov comes from. The motion. Excuse me. He’s in front. There he is. He’s going to pop out. And this is a shot he did not have his rookie year. Scored 20 at even strength. This is a power play goal, but his rookie year, he didn’t have this slap shot and he buries this. I mean, massive velocity, perfect placement to beat a smaller goalender high to the glove. Kicked away by Alex Lion. A little help with the sticker chance. This one is pumped towards the net. Lion has to make the save there. Nestrom, he’s been close. He gets it right back. Well, Nestrom take this one around the world. It back up here. They score. Yes, Barry. Coach Kiami on the setup. That’ll be the first NHL point for Yol Nestrom. And the Canes extend their lead. It’s three to one. On yesterday Koken’s best shift of the season. Look at him reload because Nstrom’s pitching. So it starts being responsible on the defensive side of the puck. Nestrom twirls for his first NHL assist to utilize the first half of the net. Little stunner step on Thompson and puts it right into the wheelhouse. Bar down for Yes. Barry Kok in the Emmy. Both teams have had good looks here and now here’s a chance. The captain coming in shoots rebound chance and Lion bests him on both tries. Right shot stride. Tough to tell from this angle, you know, but sometimes goalenders will give you that five hole just to try to get you. He’s hanging on. He’ll drop it for Timmons. Timmons loses it to Aaho. AO on a break. AO in alone and Lion with the save with a blocker. Two big breakaway saves for Lion. Quinn leaves it for Byum. He gets a stick to the backhand and that’s sent wide. Excellent back check by Carolina. Second opportunity by Timmons that hits the post and then a sprawling coach will get the cover with 9.3 seconds left. Same goal by Andre Sesnikov for the two big players who came across this off season. Miller in that trade from the Rangers and Ether’s the big free agent signing. And we’re underway here in the third period as we are about to get to five on five. The last 8 seconds of fouron four hockey have elapsed and here comes Buffalo. Greenway out of the box carry this one meet the goal line. All three Sabres players were there. Greenway doing some heavy lifting there and now will take a bounce off to Stansion but co will get to it. His pass finds Robinson scores. Welcome back to the lineup Eric Robinson. It’s 4-1 Carolina. This was all about the quickness of the release. Kokami lowrisk high reward flip to Robinson. Looked like just on side. Two points for Kokami. And I don’t think that Lion thought the shot was coming that quick. I think especially when the puck was on edge. I think he thought he’s bothered there by Rosanne, but it’s AO with it now. takes a funny bounce off the glass. Sandlen’s given a shove there by Jarvis with a 4-1 lead for the Hurricanes. They brought the face off out to center ice in order for him to full on ice. That one quick and now here’s a chance for Tuck. Alex Tuck’s got Thompson with him. Tuck with a shot. He scores. Alex Tuck beats Coachov to the stick side and for Tuck his sixth of the year. Shooting ability of Thompson and Tuck. Miller gets caught. Tuck is forced to the outside. You know, shooting’s really the only option. I guess Thompson’s driving the far side after he gets it to Tuck, but I I think you’d like to see Coachov. It’s a great shot, but you’d like to see him play bigger. If he plays bigger, it challenges. And now skating away is Thompson. Thompson, he will take a seat himself at center ice. Here’s a chance coin. He tease it up. Blockered away by Lion. The angle that Keandre Miller took in the neutral zone to create that chance. Now Mloud setting it up. Thompson. They score. And Tage Thompson with that heavy wrist. Impressive push here in this period. They had two layers of the middle lane drive. Always talk about the middle lane drive. It creates a passing lane for Mloud. Two guys. Usually you just need one for the middle lane drive. It causes an overback check. All the room for Thompson and he is not going to make a mistake from that spot. Mloud took a peek, recognized the trailer. The sniper was there. Won 11 of 18 draws tonight. Now this time it’ll be one by Mloud across Samson. Shot kick away. Coach stalled to the rebound up for Jarvis. Jarvis trying to play it around Jarvis and Dette. Bingo. Seth Jarvis’s ninth of the year. And it’s a 53 lead for Carolina. That just say an empty net goal is highlight reel. But I think this one suffices. The extra move helps it around. Kim gaps up on Robinson. Don sends one. Ricochets away. Kept in by Power. Power to Krebs. Krebs. He gets it to LGO for his first. His first NHL goal for Charles Alexis LGO. [Music] 170 ft. Nothing but net and the Canes have a 6-3 lead. Sometimes you can see a smile through a mouth guard that needs to be surgically removed. goal and an assist. Both the first for LGO here in this third period. Bounces that thing home. Can you see the smile through the mouth guard? Well, you mentioned Carolina did what they do. Two empty net goals and this one is going to the books. [Music]

Andrei Svechnikov, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Charles-Alexis Legault each recorded a goal and an assist on the night, and the Carolina Hurricanes took a 6-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres.
