Goaltender Anders Lindback stopped 44 Bruins shots plus three more in a shootout to lead the Sabres to a 2-1 win.  Lindback gave up a first period goal, but stopped every Bruin shot after that for his first win of the season.

A power play goal by Rasmus Ristoleinen early in the third period tied the game at 1-1 forcing overtime and then the shootout where a goal by Tyler Ennis was enough to win it.

Win the victory the Sabres break a 7-game losing streak.  The Sabres are off until Friday when they host the New Jersey Devils.
