In Detroit, the Buffalo Sabres got a 2-0 win over the Red Wings a night after being abused by the New York Rangers.
Linus Ullmark made 41 saves in the win.
“As the game turned out, that ended up being a huge save,” Ullmark said. “I was just trying to stay in front of him and make myself big. You make that save some of the time, and they score some of the time. Today, it worked out in my favor.”
Sam Reinhart had a goal and two points on the night.
“We weren’t good with the puck last night, especially on our line,” Reinhart said of his combination with Eichel and Victor Olofsson. “Tonight, as a group, we were much better. We created more shots, both on 5-on-5 and the power play.”
Jake McCabe also scored for the Sabres after sustaining an injury in the first period.
“I got a puck to the chin on my second shift and got my face slammed into the glass on my third shift,” said McCabe, sporting stitches in multiple places. “I guess I’ve already got a costume for Halloween.”

Jimmy Howard made 23 saves in the loss; Detroit has lost seven straight.
“I thought we played a pretty solid game defensively, but we didn’t score,” Red Wings Dylan Larkin said. “You can’t win a game if you don’t score. We need a win in the worst way, just to get our confidence back.”
