Sabres beat Coyotes 6-3

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) – Evander Kane scored the go-ahead goal with 5:36 remaining and Buffalo was finally able to preserve a third-period lead in a victory over Arizona.

Ryan O’Reilly had a goal and two assists, including a no-look backhand pass to set up Kane’s goal. Marcus Foligno scored twice and Jack Eichel had a goal and two assists to help Buffalo snap an 0-3-1 skid.

Robin Lehner finished with 19 saves during a game in which the Sabres outshot Arizona 31-10 through two periods and 41-22 overall. Sam Reinhart capped the scoring with an empty-netter.

Newly acquired forward Teemu Pulkkinen, Tobias Rieder and Alex Goligoski scored for the Coyotes, who lost for the fourth time in five games, and fourth straight on the road. Radim Vrbata had a career-best 10-game point streak end, and Mike Smith stopped 35 shots.
