WINNIPEG - It's become a winning recipe as of late for the Buffalo Sabres - stellar goaltending from Carter Hutton, a timely goal from Jeff Skinner and a belief that they're never really out of a game.
All those ingredients came together once again in a 2-1 shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. Hutton kept them in it when the Jets made an early push, Skinner erased a one-goal deficit 53 seconds into the third period and Jack Eichel, Jason Pominville and Conor Sheary tallied goals in the seven-round shootout.
The Sabres have won four games in a row for the first time since December 2014. They've done it against opponents with a combined record of 44-25-8.
