Led by 37 saves from Carter Hutton, the Buffalo Sabres held off the New York Rangers in a 3-2 victory at Madison Square Garden on Friday.
Zemgus Girgensons, Sam Reinhart and Jimmy Vesey scored for Buffalo to give them a three-goal lead before the Rangers made things interesting right at the end of regulation.
After Mika Zibanejad broke the shutout with 2:53 remaining in the third period, Chris Kreider scored on a 6-on-4 power play with 1:38 left. Buffalo was able to play sound defensively from there on out to earn the two points.
