The Sabres fought through two periods without a goal, then erased a pair of third-period deficits before Mittelstadt provided one last highlight-film moment for Rick Jeanneret to narrate.
On the final night of RJ's Hall-of-Fame career, the Sabres had won in oooovertime.
"I think that kind of sums up the whole year for us," Mittelstadt said.
