Jonathan Huberdeau had a goal and two assists to lead the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.

Finds twine Monday

Tuch entered Monday's play with 14 goals and 19 assists in 45 games – and holding a team-best rating of plus-15. HE had three short-handed goals, no power-play goals and scored just once over an 11-game stretch during the club's 13-game winless streak.

The Buffalo Sabres looked competitive for about 30 minutes before ultimately collapsing, losing to the Calgary Flames 5-2.

Jared McCann had a goal and two assists while John Hayden, Chandler Stephenson, Matty Beniers, Jamie Oleksiak and Adam Larsson also scored for Seattle. Ryker Evans tallied a pair of assists, and goalie Joey Daccord stopped 25 of 29 shots. The Sabres went 1-for-3 on the power play and killed one of two shorthanded situations.

With trade speculation swirling about Buffalo Sabres center Dylan Cozens, 20-year-old Jiri Kulich impressed coach Lindy Ruff on the first line.

Alex Nedeljkovic became the second goaltender in Pittsburgh Penguins history to score a goal during a 5-2 victory against the Buffalo Sabres, at KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Friday. His score came on an empty net at 17:18 of the third period.

McLeod will return to the lineup for the Sabres on Saturday, just in time to make his return to Rogers Place and play his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, for the first time. McLeod has missed the past three games with what he described as a “nagging” upper-body injury.

Calgary entered the game with the 30th-ranked penalty kill in the league but went a perfect 6-for-6 against the Sabres.

As the trade deadline slowly approaches, the Toronto Maple Leafs will have plenty of work that needs to get done in terms of addressing their needs. General Manager Brad Treliving has made it clear for months that their top priority is to acquire another centre to help shore up their depth.

With the Flames on the penalty kill with about eight minutes remaining, Wolf came up clutch with a pair of denials in a three-second span. Even as JJ Peterka’s sharp-angle attempt rattled off his mask, he was unfazed — and exactly where he needed to be — to road-block Alex Tuch’s crack at the rebound.
