BUFFALO — Bowen Byram scored the deciding goal in the shootout to give the Buffalo Sabres a 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday night.
Alex Ovechkin was held without a goal for the fourth straight game and remains one shy of 900 for the Capitals who have lost four in a row. Byram’s first career shootout goal was the only one in the five-round shootout. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped all five Capitals, including Ovechkin, and made 31 saves.
