DETROIT (AP) — The Buffalo Sabres continue to find ways to win.Sam Reinhart and Tage Thompson scored in a seven-round shootout to give the Sabres their ninth consecutive victory Zdeno Chara Jersey , 3-2 over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday night.Buffalo (16-6-2) is one win away from its franchise record of 10.“I think during this streak you can look at it and see how many different heroes we’ve had,” said Sabres star Jack Eichel, who had an assist. “There are guys stepping up in key situations. You’ve got Tommer (Thompson) going out for the shootout and putting on an incredible move. Linus (goalie Linus Ullmark, who made 35 saves) stepping in and playing out of his mind, making huge saves.Jeff Skinner and Thompson scored for Buffalo in regulation.“I think first of all, I have to give credit to our guys, and that’s everybody that’s played through these six games in nine nights,” Sabres coach Phil Housley said. “It has been a grind and the guys continue to find energy and ways to win hockey games. It wasn’t pretty, it was sometimes sloppy Xavier Ouellet Jersey Womens , but we found a way to win.”Dylan Larkin, Anthony Mantha scored for Detroit, and Jimmy Howard stopped 33 shots. Andreas Athanasiou scored in the shootout for the Red Wings.“We had enough chances to win the hockey game for sure,” Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said. “We got to score on our chances. When you get that many breakaways you got to find ways to score.”Ullmark denied Mantha, about eight minutes into the second period, and Larkin, a little over six-and-a-half minutes into the third, on breakaways.“I give a lot of credit to Linus. For him to make those huge breakaway saves was great,” Housley said.Mantha tied it at 2 TJ Brodie Jersey , with 6:28 left in the third. He poked in the rebound off the goal post. It was Mantha’s seventh goal and came four seconds after a Detroit power play ended.Thompson gave the Sabres a 2-1 lead 7:40 into the third period with a power-play goal on a one-time slap shot from the left circle. It was Thompson’s third goal.Larkin tied it at 1, 53 seconds into the second period when his harmless-looking wrist shot from the outside of the left circle along the boards from a bad angle went in off Ullmark. It was Larkin’s ninth goal.Skinner’s power-play goal 3:37 into the game gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead. He put in the rebound, of a shot by Eichel, from the slot. It was Skinner’s league-leading 18th goal and his fourth in three games.Ullmark was forced to make an unexpected spectacular reverse pad save when a dump in from the neutral zone took a weird bounce in the left circle and was headed for the empty net as Ullmark came out to play the puck.NOTE: Buffalo was without C Patrik Berglund because of an upper-body injury. … Detroit was without D Jonathan Ericsson (undisclosed) and Darren Helm (upper body).UP NEXT:Sabres: Host San Jose on Tuesday night.Red Wings: Host Columbus on Monday night. COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Daniel Sprong has been an Anaheim Duck for less than two weeks. On Saturday night, he went a long way toward ingratiating himself with his new teammates.Traded to Anaheim Dec. 3 by Pittsburgh, Sprong scored twice — including in overtime — to lift the Ducks over the Columbus Blue Jackets 2-1 and begin a five-game trip on a positive note.Adam Henrique won a faceoff in the Ducks offensive zone before skating in to screen goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, allowing Sprong to move above the right circle and snap a shot to the top corner of the net 1:19 into the extra period.“I picked it up and just went to find some space, and I saw (Columbus defenseman Seth) Jones give me a bit of room Womens Travis Hamonic Jersey , and (Henrique) did a great job screening in front,” Sprong said.John Gibson stopped 36 shots for Anaheim in a tight, high-energy game played mostly in Columbus’ offensive zone. The Ducks have now won four straight and eight of nine.“We know it’s not always going to be pretty,” Gibson said.Markus Nutivaara scored in the first period, and Bobrovsky had 20 saves for Columbus, which has lost five of seven. The Blue Jackets are 1-1-1 in the last three, but coach John Tortorella is satisfied with the effort and style of play in the midst of a six-game homestand.“We haven’t been getting rewarded, but we’ve played three good hockey games here,” Tortorella said. “We just have to keep our wits about ourselves here and keep on playing.”The Blue Jackets started it at 12:06 in the first period when Boone Jenner won a faceoff and shoveled it back to Nutivaara Florida Panthers Hoodies Womens , who rifled in a slap shot from above the left circle. It was his fourth goal of the season and first in eight games.Later in the period, Sprong tied it when his shot from the goal line glanced off Bobrovsky while the goalie was trying to seal the near post.The second and third periods were physical but scoreless.“Especially down the stretch there in the third, we had our opportunities to put one home and you have to capitalize on one of those in those tight games if you want to come out on the right side of it,” Jenner said.Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said he saw signs of his team being tired but being able to fight through it.“We’ve been able to grind out points when it looked grim,” he said. “We’ve found ways to score timely goals.”Sprong has three goals in five games with Anaheim after not scoring while with Pittsburgh, which parted with him in exchange for Marcus Pettersson.NOTES: Anaheim forward Kiefer Sherwood, who grew up in the Columbus suburb of New Albany, played his first game at Nationwide Arena.
