"A hooking penalty on A.J. Greer set the stage for the first Buffalo goal with 2:12 left in the first. Alex Tuch was given enough space to take a slick little backhand dish from Ryan McLeod and fire it above Daniil Tarasov's right shoulder from the slot."
"Florida would need just six seconds to take advantage of a hooking call on Michael Kesselring to even the tilt 13:51 into second. Following the ensuing draw in the left circle, Brad Marchand and Sam Bennett touched the puck before Matthew Tkachuk took possession and skated in on Alex Lyon, sending a beautiful shot into the top of the net from tight quarters."
"Lyon (28 saves) won the goalie duel against a fantastic Tarasov, who stopped 36 of 38 shots to give his team a chance to get a point or two. The Panthers just couldn't finish their chances to grab the lead."
The Florida Panthers suffered a 3-2 defeat to the Buffalo Sabres at home. Buffalo scored first on a power play when Alex Tuch converted a backhand pass from Ryan McLeod. Florida quickly equalized on their own power play when Matthew Tkachuk scored from tight quarters. The Sabres regained the lead in the third period on Beck Malenstyn's shot, then extended their advantage with an empty-netter by Peyton Krebs. Florida pulled their goalie and scored late through Sam Bennett, but lacked sufficient time to force overtime. Despite Daniil Tarasov's strong performance with 36 saves, the Panthers could not capitalize on their opportunities.
