In a commanding performance, the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Ottawa Senators 4-0 in Ottawa, with goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen making an impressive 35 saves. Jack Quinn was the standout player, scoring twice, while Dylan Cozens and Ryan McLeod also contributed to the Sabres' scoring.

This victory dampened the Senators' return to the Canadian Tire Centre after a lengthy nine-game road trip, exacerbated by their struggles with scoring, averaging only 1.67 goals per game over their last seven outings.
