CHICAGO - Carter Hutton made seven saves in a wide-open overtime period Thursday night, but the Buffalo Sabres were unable to come up with two points against the Chicago Blackhawks.
Chicago scored on all three of their shootout attempts to come away with a 5-4 victory at United Center.
Buffalo battled back from a two-goal deficit in the second period to gain a 3-2 advantage. The teams then traded goals in the third in short spurts in a game filled with rushes and long outlet passes.
"That's the style they like to play," defenseman Zach Bogosian said. "I don't think we checked well enough tonight to get the win, but it's a big point for us."
