Zemgus Girgensons, Sam Reinhart, and former Blueshirt Jimmy Vesey all found the back of the net for the Buffalo Sabres as they defeated the New York Rangers, 3-2, at Madison Square Garden on Friday night.
The Blueshirts didn’t play well. It was their fifth game in eight nights, but the Sabres played last night so that is no excuse. The fact is that this was a game that the Rangers needed to win and they didn’t wake up until it was too late.
Carter Hutton, who made 37 saves on 39 shots faced, earned his seventh win of the season as Buffalo improved to 24-23-8.
