Sabres Stick A Fork In Leafs, Extend Lead In Playoff Race

Rasmus Dahlin scored his first hat trick and had two assists, with Josh Doan, Tage Thompson, Alex Tuch and Jack Quinn adding singles. The win increased the Sabres margin over Florida to six points, and over Toronto, Philadelphia, and Washington to eight points in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The news was not good on the goalie front, as starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen left the contest in the first period after suffering a lower-body injury.
