BOSTON - The Buffalo Sabres' penalty killers were able to hold off the Boston Bruins' attack for 40 minutes, but a pair of goals on an extended power play early in the third period lifted Boston to a 3-2 victory Sunday night at TD Garden.
Johan Larsson was called for tripping and hooking on the same sequence 1:23 into the third and then Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk scored twice 18 seconds apart on the four-minute man advantage to put the Bruins ahead.
Rasmus Ristolainen scored his fourth goal of the season, making it 1-1 and Curtis Lazar also tallied for Buffalo. Lazar's goal came just 2:13 after DeBruk's second goal to put the Sabres within one.
