Tuch helps Sabres outlast Edmonton

Former Golden Knight Alex Tuch scored the decisive shootout goal as host Buffalo overcame a two-goal deficit and a disallowed overtime goal to beat Edmonton 3-2 on Saturday.

Jacob Bryson scored the tying goal with 8:21 left in the third period for the Sabres, who halted a three-game skid and dealt Edmonton a second straight loss after its five-game win streak.

Owen Power scored for Buffalo with two seconds left in overtime, only to have the goal disallowed upon replay review because of an offside call.

Both teams had left the ice when officials announced the overturned goal. The announcement led to a chaotic scene in which the Sabres’ mascot, Sabretooth, ran down Buffalo’s tunnel to alert the team.

Oilers captain Connor Mcdavid had his points and league-best assist streak end at 13 games despite enjoying several setup and scoring opportunities, including a shot off the post in the first period’s final minute.
