Goaltender Bob Sauve turns in a spectacular performance and Buddy Cloutier scores a fluky goal as the Sabres defeat the Blues in St. Louis, 2-1, for their ninth straight road win, an NHL record at the time.

Pierre Turgeon scores four minutes into overtime to give the Sabres a 6-5 win over the Bruins at Boston Garden and cap an incredible comeback -- at one point, the Sabres trailed by four goals. In his second season as a Sabre, Turgeon would lead the team in scoring with 88 points. The win stretched the Sabres' unbeaten streak to six games, on their way to nine, in a season in which the team was barely over .500 and lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Bruins for the second straight spring.

For the second time in a year, John Tucker is traded for future considerations, this time to the New York Islanders.

At HSBC Arena, Martin Biron makes 23 saves to blank the Penguins for his second consecutive shutout as the Sabres extend their unbeaten streak to six games. Unfortunately, Pittsburgh goaltender Sebastien Caron makes 34 saves to blank the Sabres. Mario Lemieux, of course, does not play. This time, it's a groin injury that disappoints many in the crowd who came to see him. Oddly, for the fourth straight game, the Sabres enter the third period in a scoreless tie. Anyone miss those days?
