The Sabres are still last in the East. They left the ice still 11 points out of a playoff spot. So what exactly did they win ...
Thompson, JJ Peterka, Ryan McLeod, and Jason Zucker scored for the Sabres, who won their third in a row. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 21 saves.
It wasn't the finish Sabres coach Lindy Ruff would have liked, but his team held on for a 4-3 win over the Devils.
