Mikko Rantanen succeeded, but Buffalo’s Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped Colorado – Mitch Marner’s streak of points was broken

Artturi Lehkonen, Mikael Granlund, Kaapo Kakko and Roope Hintz got to the assists. Juuse Saros’ great saves did not help Nashville win.

The injury-plagued Colorado Avalanche’s two-game winning streak was snapped when they lost to the Buffalo Sabres, 2-4. Buffalo led the match after two periods 3–0, but Mikko Rantanen started the Colorado Kir in the ninth minute of the third period.

Valery Nitsuskin polik stepped into the attack zone and gave a cross pass to Rantanen, who passed Buffalo with his shot Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen. The goal was Rantanen’s 20th of the season. Artturi Lehkonen made the service point hit.

Buffalo’s hero Luukkonen blocked 39 shots in the match.

– “Upi” was really good. We let him see a lot of shots. That was the real key to victory, the Buffalo head coach Don Granato said.

Evan Rodrigues brought Colorado within a goal, but it was a thin consolation, as the final readings hit Buffalo Dylan Cozens.

The Buffalo Star Tage Thompson ran away from Rantase and scored the opening goal of the match.

– I wasn’t awake. It’s hard to catch him from behind. He is also a good scorer and beat me in that situation, Rantanen told the Denver Post.

Nashville’s Saros shined

Mikael Granlund served in the opening set by Filip Forsberg 1-0 lead when Nashville faced Winnipeg. Dylan DeMelo tied the match in the same set and the solution was finally sought in overtime, where Winnipeg’s Kyle Connor emerged as the decider.

Nashville goaltender Juuse Saros kept his team up and made 39 saves.

– Saros gave us a chance to win with his saves. It’s a shame we didn’t get two points for “Juice” because he played so well, Granlund said after the game.

– We got one point mostly because of Saros. He is our best player night after night. We have to help him a little more, Forsberg stumbled.

The Dallas Stars once again organized a huge final rally when they beat the Washington Capitals 2-1 in the away bowl with two goals in the final set. Miro Heiskanen shot with superiority from the blue line and Roope Hintz, Joe Pavelski and Jamie Benn crushed the puck into the goal.

Colin Miller scored the winning goal one minute and 19 seconds after Benn’s hit.

– We wanted to regroup for the last round. We have an honest group that knows when we play well and when we don’t. They know how to fix the game, Dallas head coach Peter DeBoer said.

A defender in the back lines of Dallas Miro Heiskanen returned to giant minutes after one match, as the Finn toiled on the ice for almost 26 minutes. Dallas’ two other Finnish defenders also got a lot of responsibility, because Jani Hakanpää clocked well over 19 minutes of ice time and Esa Lindell on the other hand, almost 21 minutes.

Central Division leader Dallas snapped Washington’s five-game winning streak. Washington is sixth in the Metropolitan Division.

After a great start to the season, the Boston Bruins lost to the Los Angeles Kings 2-3 after the winning shootout. Boston led the match 2–0 after two periods, but two goals by Los Angeles’ Swedish forward Adrian Kempe helped the team first to overtime and finally to the winning shootout.
