Canucks Edge Sabres in Overtime After Buffalo's Late Rally

Vancouver's Conor Garland scored the game-winning goal in OT, while goalie Kevin Lankinen tied an NHL road record with his 9th consecutive win.

The Buffalo Sabres rallied with two third-period goals to force overtime but fell 4-3 to the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.
Vancouver's Conor Garland scored twice, including the game-winner in overtime, off a setup by defenseman Quinn Hughes, who dominated puck possession in OT.
Canucks goalie Kevin Lankinen made 31 saves and tied an NHL record for most consecutive road wins to start a season, matching marks set in 1965 and 2023.
Buffalo's Dylan Cozens scored and took responsibility for costly penalties earlier in the game, while Alex Tuch and Bowen Byram also contributed goals for the Sabres.
The Sabres' power play struggled, going 0-for-5, and forward Sam Lafferty exited with a lower-body injury, prompting the recall of Tyson Kozak for Saturday's game against the Islanders.
