TORONTO-- Evander Kane scored twice for the Buffalo Sabres in a 3-1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre on Saturday.
Robin Lehner made 43 saves for the Sabres (23-22-10), who are 3-1-2 in their past six games and five points behind the Maple Leafs (25-18-11) for fourth place in the Atlantic Division.
"We came out flying, it was great to see. I think we had a solid first period," Lehner said. "They're a good team over there, obviously they're going to come back and make a push. They kind of had one the last five minutes of the first and they had one in the second. I thought we kept our composure, though, and helped each other out. They got a lucky one, but still we didn't panic that much, I don't think."
