The Buffalo Sabres clinched a crucial road victory, defeating the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in a shootout. Rookie forward Noah Ostlund scored the winning goal, his first in an NHL shootout, following insights from the teams minor league affiliate in Rochester. This triumph ended Minnesotas seven-game winning streak. The Sabres, who had been grappling with puck luck, benefited from fortunate bounces and a stellar performance by goalie Colten Ellis. The teams fourth line, consisting of Peyton Krebs, Beck Malenstyn, and Josh Dunne, also shone, creating numerous scoring opportunities and contributing a goal. The Sabres will next host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday at seven thirty PM.
