Sabres Secure 4-2 Victory Over Blackhawks, Ending Road Trip on High Note

Buffalo's strong team effort, including JJ Peterka's decisive goal, helps overcome Chicago despite ongoing power play struggles.

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 35 saves, crucially preserving the Sabres' lead and earning his first win of the season.
JJ Peterka scored the game-winning goal late in the second period, marking his fourth goal in three games.
Tage Thompson and Beck Malenstyn scored early to give the Sabres a 2-0 lead before Chicago tied the game with two goals from Craig Smith.
Peyton Krebs and his line effectively limited Chicago's Connor Bedard to just two shots on goal.
The Sabres' power play remains a concern, going 0-for-4 against the Blackhawks and 0-for-21 on the season.
