BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Mats Zuccarello scored 1:47 into overtime to lead the
Minnesota Wild to a 5-4 win over the Buffalo Sabres at KeyBank Center on
Saturday afternoon.
Zuccarello's winning goal came on the power play after a pass from Kirill
Kaprizov, who finished with three assists to help end the Wild's three-game
winless streak.
Marcus Foligno, Ryan Hartman, Vladimir Tarasenko and Quinn Hughes also scored,
and Filip Gustavsson made 20 saves for the Wild.
Ryan McLeod, Peyton Krebs, Jack Quinn and Alex Tuch scored for the Sabres, who
lost for only the third time in 18 games. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 20 saves.
Foligno gave the Wild a 1-0 lead at 9:19 of the first period but McLeod tied it
46 seconds later.
Hartman made it 2-1 with eight seconds left in the first when he tapped home a
cross-crease pass from Hughes. Tarasenko gave the Wild a 3-1 lead at 1:08 of
the second period.
Krebs cut the lead to 3-2 when he tipped a pass from Mattias Samuelsson past
Gustavsson with 9:53 left and Quinn tied it up 1:27 later. Tuch's power-play
goal with 3:53 to go gave them a 4-3 lead.
Hughes' slap shot goal with 2:56 to go in the second made it 4-4.
