BUFFALO-- Rasmus Ristolainen scored a power-play goal 57 seconds into overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 4-3 win against the Edmonton Oilers at KeyBank Center on Tuesday.
With Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson serving a third-period holding penalty, Ristolainen's first goal of the season came when he received a pass from Ryan O'Reilly and took a slap shot that got past goalie Cam Talbot.
"There's been some really good chances, but you can't get frustrated and try to keep it simple and get pucks to the net," Ristolainen said. "Someday it's going to go in, and tonight was the time."
