Alex Tuch scored twice, including the winner, as the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-4 on Saturday.
JJ Peterka, with a goal and an assist, Tage Thompson, Jeff Skinner and Jordan Greenway also scored for Buffalo . Devon Levi made 25 saves.
Max Lajoie took Timothy Liljegren’s spot on the Leafs’ blue line with the defenceman on long-term injured reserve after he was tripped into the boards by Bruins’ winger Brad Marchand during Thursday’s 3-2 shootout loss in Boston.Tuch put Saturday’s back-and-forth third period to bed at 12:48 when Rasmus Dalhin’s point shot hit the big winger and caromed past Woll for his second goal of the season.
But Matthews tipped home his third of the night — and 11th of the campaign in his 11th game — off a Mark Giordano point shot at 7:27 to make it 4-4 as hats rained down from the Scotiabank Arena crowd.Woll then made a big stop on a Peterka with Nylander in hot pursuit to keep the teams level. Toronto, which entered on a three-game slide , opened the scoring at 12:05 of the first when Marner took a breakaway feed from Calle Jarnkrok and fired his fourth past Levi.
