Laine hurt; Sabres rally in 3rd for 4-3 win over Jets
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Sabres used a big third period to slip past the Winnipeg Jets.
Brian Gionta scored Buffalo’s third goal in a span of 4:46 of the third period and the Sabres overcame a two-goal deficit to defeat the Jets 4-3.
The Jets lost after winning the first two on a three-game trip. They also lost leading scorer Patrik Laine in the third period.
The NHL’s rookie points leader entering the day was escorted to the dressing room after taking an open-ice hit from Buffalo’s Jake McCabe 13 seconds after the Sabres tied the game.
