Buffalo Sabres Defeat New York Islanders 3-1 in NHL Match

Goals by Skinner, Samuelsson, and Cozens, along with Mittelstadt's two assists, lead to Sabres' victory; goalie Eric Comrie nears season's first shutout.

Eric Comrie, the Sabres' goalie, nearly achieved his first shutout of the season, recording 24 saves and carrying the shutout into the final two minutes of the game.
Casey Mittelstadt of the Sabres was integral to the victory, assisting the first two goals and initiating the go-ahead sequence with a pass theft. He then delivered the puck to Skinner who scored the initial goal.
