Thompson scores twice as Sabres beat Kings 3-2
Buffalo recovered after losing a two-goal lead, winning its third straight game on Saturday.
Buffalo left Los Angeles with a 3-2 victory on Saturday after Tage Thompson scored his second goal of the game on a third-period power play.
Jack Quinn supplied the pass for Thompson’s deciding shot with 6:20 left at Crypto.com Arena. The Sabres had seen a 2-0 advantage disappear before that goal secured their third consecutive win.
Quinn scored on a first-period power play, and Thompson added Buffalo’s second goal in the next period. Corey Perry then scored with the Kings on the power play after Los Angeles successfully challenged a goaltender-interference ruling. Andre Lee drew the Kings level early in the third.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen finished with 27 saves for Buffalo, while Anton Forsberg stopped 28 shots for Los Angeles. Quinn also had an assist, and Zach Benson and Rasmus Dahlin each contributed two assists.
