Buffalo Sabres Break Losing Streak with 3-1 Victory Over Boston Bruins

Bruins suffer loss of top defenseman Charlie McAvoy to injury amidst defeat

The Buffalo Sabres broke their four-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins, despite key players Rasmus Dahlin, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Alex Tuch, Jordan Greenway and Zemgus Girgensons being out due to injuries and illness.
Goals from JJ Peterka, Tage Thompson and Victor Olofsson, along with an impressive performance from goalie Devon Levi, helped secure the Sabres' win.
The Bruins lost top defenseman Charlie McAvoy to an upper-body injury early in the third period, the extent of which is still unknown.
The Bruins were also without Derek Forbort, who was placed on long-term injured reserve due to a nagging groin injury.
Despite the loss, Bruins' Brad Marchand scored the 1,000th penalty of his career.
