Byram lifts Sabres over Senators 3-2 in OT for first 7-game win streak in 7 years
Bowen Byram scored his second goal of the game 31 seconds into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2, extending their win streak to seven heading into the Christmas break
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Bowen Byram scored his second goal of the game 31 seconds into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Tuesday night, extending their win streak to seven heading into the Christmas break.
It marks the first seven-game winning streak for the Sabres (18-14-4) since November 2018.
Noah Ostlund also scored for Buffalo, with an assist from Byram, and Alex Lyon made 24 saves.
Ridly Greig and Tim Stutzle each had a goal for the Senators, who had won four in a row. Linus Ullmark stopped 22 shots.
Stutzle extended his point streak to eight games (7 goals, 8 assists).
Ottawa (18-13-5) had an opportunity to take the lead after Alex Tuch was assessed a hooking penalty with 1:51 left in the third period, but the Senators were unable to capitalize.
Both teams generated a number of chances in the first two periods, but neither created much in the third until Drake Batherson had a great chance late in the period only to get robbed by Lyon.
