Dahlin, the Sabres captain, made it 3-3 with a slap shot from the blue line through traffic after Jack Eichel gave the Golden Knights a 3-2 lead at 17:27 when he swept in a loose puck from the doorstep to extend his point streak to eight games (11 points; two goals, nine assists).

Alex Tuch scored the deciding goal in the shootout to lead the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-3 win against the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Golden Knights allowed the tying goal in the final seconds of regulation, then fell to the Sabres in a shootout Saturday in Buffalo.

The Sabres are coming off a 7-3 loss in Detroit on Wednesday which ended with three unanswered goals by the Red Wings. Self-inflicted turnovers were costly in that game, a point coach Lindy Ruff will emphasize against the talented Golden Knights.
