‘Buffalo got back within a goal at 8:36 of the third when Ott finished off a scramble in front of Thomas, good for the Sabres’ second power play tally of the night. The goal marked Ott’s sixth of the season and 100th of his NHL career. The Sabres had an opportunity to even the score late when Brad Boyes was hit with a four-minute double minor for high sticking, but couldn’t beat Thomas. The Panthers netminder came up with 32 saves in the win.’
