BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) --- Beck Malenstyn scored a spectacular goal, Ukko-Pekka
Luukkonen made 28 saves and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Eastern
Conference-leading Carolina Hurricanes 4-1 on Sunday.
Malenstyn took a touch pass from Tyson Kozak, made a sweet move to his right to
slip past Sebastian Aho and easily beat Frederik Andersen to make it 3-1 with
1:24 left in the second period.
Alex Tuch, Jack Quinn and Tage Thompson also scored for the Sabres, who have
won four of five. Ryan McLeod had two assists, and Luukkonen got his second
straight victory.
Shayne Gostisbehere scored and Andersen made 17 saves for the Hurricanes, who
lost in regulation for the first time since Nov. 11.
Tuch opened the scoring on the power play in the first period. Gostisbehere
made it 1-1 later in the first, also on the power play.
Quinn gave the Sabres a 2-1 lead early in the second. Thompson's empty-netter
extended his goal streak to six games.
Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal missed the game because of illness.
