By Canadian Press on March 10, 2025.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Tage Thompson scored two goals and led the Buffalo Sabres to a 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.

Thompson’s goals upped his team-leading goal total to 33 and Alex Tuch also scored to help the Sabres end a six-game losing streak in which they went 0-5-1. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 32 saves.

Evan Bouchard and Darnell Nurse scored, and Leon Draisaitl had two assists for the Oilers, who have lost seven of their last 10 . Stuart Skinner made 19 saves.

Draisaitl’s secondary assist on Nurse’s goal 1:35 into the second extended his point streak to 15 games. He has 11 goals and 12 assists during the streak.

SENATORS 2, RED WINGS 1

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Linus Ullmark demonstrated why Ottawa Senators traded for him last year as the gifted netminder turned away 48 shots on Monday night in a win over Detroit.

Ullmark, making his eighth consecutive start, was at his best in the second period when he stopped all 27 shots he faced, tying a franchise record.

Dylan Cozens scored his first as a Senator, and David Perron also scored.

Dylan Larkin beat Ullmark short side in the third period. Cam Talbot made 21 saves for the Red Wings.
