At The Final Horn | Cozens scores twice as Sabres down Oilers

The Buffalo Sabres battled through a slew of penalties and, thanks to a pair of goals from Dylan Cozens in quick succession, defeated the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 Friday night at KeyBank Center.
Cozens recorded the first multi-goal game of his career and Dustin Tokarski turned aside 33 shots to earn the victory.
Leon Draisaitl scored both of Edmonton's goals on the power play. Start Skinner made 20 saves.
The Sabres were 0-for-3 on the power play and 4-for-6 on the penalty kill. The Sabres took three minor penalties in each of the first two periods, but stayed out of the box in the third.

How it happened

Both teams had a goal called back in the first period so the two clubs skated to the locker room after 20 tied 0-0.
Bjork opened the scoring 2:16 into the second period when he forced a turnover at the Sabres blue line and then skated in on a breakaway, beating Skinner top shelf.
The Oilers responded quickly with a pair of power-play goals from Draisaitl. First, he tallied at the 4:08 mark backhanding in a bouncing puck past Tokarski.
Then at the 6:57 mark, Draistaitl took a feed from Connor McDavid to put the Oilers up 2-1.
With 6:04 left in the second, Cozens tied the game when he busted in over the line and wristed a shot past Skinner.
Cozens sent Hinostroza off on a breakaway and then cashed in on the rebound to put Buffalo up 3-2 with 49.9 seconds remaining in the second period.
Tokarski was strong in net down the stretch, stopping 14 shots in the third period.
