The Buffalo Sabres’ 2-1 lead in the second period over the Tampa Bay didn’t last long. After Jimmy Vesey scored on a breakaway, the Lightning responded Sunday night at Amalie Arena with four unanswered goals – including two on the same penalty kill in the third period – to defeat Buffalo 5-2.
Sam Reinhart scored Buffalo’s first goal. Carter Hutton made 24 saves.
