However, the Sabres defeated the Devils 2-1 to put an end to their own losing streak, stopping it at two. Tage Thompson and Peyton Krebs each found the back of the net for Buffalo, while Timo Meier scored the lone goal for New Jersey. The Devils head over to Pittsburgh on Thursday, and the Sabres are back at it on Friday to continue their road trip in Florida to take on the Panthers.

Tage Thompson opened the scoring after a scoreless first period when he took a pass from Peyton Krebs, putting in a snap shot past Jake Allen from the slot at 11:50 of the second period. Krebs collected the puck along the left wall after the Devils failed to keep it in Buffalo's zone, and he skated into New Jersey's end with Thompson before sending it over to get the Sabres on the board 1-0. With little time left on the clock, a snap shot from Jack Hughes in the right face-off circle was denied by Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen at 1:34.


At 9:24 of the third, Krebs pushed it to 2-0 for the Sabres, scoring his eighth goal of the season. Thompson stole the puck from Hughes, skated down the slot before handing it over to Krebs, who fired a wrister from the left hash marks. Timo Meier brought the Devils within one, 2-1, when he scored in the slot with Allen pulled for an extra attacker on a rebound of a shot by Hughes, who took a pass from Jesper Bratt before shooting from just above the left circle.
