After Sabres coach Phil Housley called his team soft after Friday's loss to the Rangers, the Sabres responded with a good defensive effort. They just couldn't score off the chances they generated.
Jack Eichel had only one shot on goal, but he set Jeff Skinner and Jason Pominville for goals to extend his point streak to six games. Pominville's goal was the game winner.
Jeff Skinner scored twice to up his season total to 33 goals. His goal with less than a minute to play tied the game at 5-5 sending the game into the extra period.
