Buffalo, Ny. (WGR) – The Buffalo Sabres remain on the road, taking on the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen started on Tuesday night in Montreal, he is back in goal for the Sabres again tonight.
Toronto was able to capitzalize on a turnover in the offensive zone and open up an early one-goal lead on the Sabres. Auston Matthews took a pass from Jack Roslovic and scored his sixth goal of the season. It is also extended Matthews’ point streak to 12 straight games against Buffalo to give his team a 1-0 lead.
However, just over a minute later Buffalo had the answer. Zach Benson passed the puck from below the goal line out to the top of the crease where Jack Quinn was able to get the puck on net. The shot slid under Sergei Bobrovsky and evened the score 1-1.
It was Quinn’s third goal of the season. Benson and Jach Metsa were credited with the assists on the game-tying score.
