Tage Thompson scored four goals as the Buffalo Sabres got back in the win column with a 5-2 come-from-behind victory over the New Jersey Devils at KeyBank Center on Friday night.
Buffalo (35-34-5) trailed 2-0 after 20 minutes, but Thompson scored twice in the second period and tapped in the game-winner with just over four minutes remaining in regulation before adding an empty-netter. His four-goal performance raised his season total to 26.
JJ Peterka also notched his 26th, while Alex Tuch tallied two assists. Devon Levi stopped 28 of the 30 shots he faced.
The Sabres will try to make it two straight wins when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday at 7 p.m.
