BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Mattias Samuelsson had a goal and two assists as the Buffalo Sabers beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 on Saturday night for their eighth straight victory.
Samuelsson’s three-point night came together in a three-goal second period with assists on goals from Ryan McLeod and Peyton Krebs.
Josh Norris added an empty-netter late and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 21 saves for Buffalo.
The Sabers’ win streak is their longest since they won ten in a row in November 2018.
David Pastrnak scored in the first period for the Bruins, who have lost five straight and six of their last seven games. Joonas Korpisalo made 30 saves.
Pastrnak opened the scoring at 11:56 of the first with his 15th goal of the season.
The Sabers grabbed a 2-1 lead with goals 1:33 apart in the second period. McLeod’s seventh of the season at 1:39 tied them and Krebs’ second of the year at 3:12 gave them the lead. Samuelsson’s sixth of the season made it 3-1 at 7:54.
Sabers captain Rasmus Dahlin did not play because he was taking care of his fiancée in Sweden. He should be back and available for their upcoming road trip.
The Bruins did not have a morning skate due to travel issues leaving Boston on Saturday morning.
