Buffalo Sabres at Boston Bruins
· National Hockey LeagueAlex Tuch scores late in OT to lift the Sabres over the Bruins 3-2

Peyton Krebs scored a power-play goal and Owen Power also had a goal for Buffalo. The Sabres’ last road win came on Jan. 21, at Vancouver.
Morgan Geekie scored a goal and set up Pavel Zacha’s score for Boston. The Bruins have lost three straight since winning the first two after trading away three key players, Brad Marchand.
Power, who had two assists, took a shot from the high slot that Tuch tipped by Joonas Korpisalo.
Krebs took a puck to the face while sitting on the bench when it went straight to the bench off a face-off.
With Boston trailing 1-0, Geekie shifted around defenseman Bowen Byram and fed Zacha in the slot, where he slipped a shot past Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen 13 minutes into the opening period.
Just over two minutes later, Geekie came in on a partial breakaway, shifted around Luukkonen and tucked the puck in for his 23rd goal.
Bruins: They avoided a disastrous period like Saturday when they didn’t get a shot on goal in the second during a loss to Tampa Bay.
BUF leads series 2-1
