"It's nice to finally get rewarded for that," Okposo said. "I think Ryan and I have obviously not been where we want to be offensively. I thought we had a better game tonight."
Kane scored a power-play goal at 12:33 of the second when he took a one-timer after a pass from Rasmus Ristolainen to make it 3-0. The goal extended Kane's point streak to give games (two goals, three assists).
The Sabres, who entered the game with the 30th-ranked power play in the League (12.5 percent), have scored a goal with the man-advantage in three straight games.
"You look at the rut we were in early, a power-play goal probably gets us three or four more wins, but it didn't," Sabres coach Phil Housley said. "I'll give a hand to them, they stuck with it."
Ceci made it 3-1 at 6:43 of the third period when he collected a rebound of his own shot that went off the post.
Brassard scored at 19:08 with Condon pulled for an extra skater to make it 3-2.
