At The Final Horn | Dahlin, Luukkonen lead Sabres in road win over Jets

Rasmus Dahlin recorded the first multi-goal game of his career with a pair of goals and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 34 saves in the Buffalo Sabres' 4-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday at Canada Life Centre.
Anders Bjork and Jeff Skinner also scored for Buffalo. Tage Thompson and Victor Olofsson each posted two assists.
Luukkonen has started four games in a row for the Sabres and picked up his first win of the year against the Jets.

Pierre-Luc Dubois and Nikolaj Ehlers were Winnipeg's goal scorers while Connor Hellebuyck stopped 23 of 27 shots.
The Sabres snapped a seven-game winless streak to open their three-game road trip on a positive note.
Buffalo's power play finished 1-for-2 while the penalty kill was a perfect 3-for-3.

How it happened

Buffalo opened the scoring 7:14 into the game on the power play when a wrist shot by Dahlin from the high slot went bar down to beat Hellebuyck.
Winnipeg tied it with 9:56 remaining in the first when defenseman Josh Morrissey picked up a turnover at the point and then fed Dubois, who was all alone in front for his 14th goal of the year.
Bjork got behind the defense with 8:30 left in the second period and potted one to put Buffalo ahead 2-1.
Then with 7:24 remaining, Ehlers one-timed in a shot from one knee to knot things up once again.
A slap shot from Dahlin deflected in with 38.4 seconds left to put the Sabres ahead going into the third period.
On a 2-on-1 with 8:05 to go in regulation, Skinner ripped a shot in to make it 4-2.
