Peyton Krebs and Ryan McLeod propelled the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-2 victory over the Dallas Stars with two quick goals in the second period. Tage Thompson's third-period goal solidified the lead, while Alex Tuch sealed the win with an empty-netter.

Buffalo's Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 28 saves, and defenseman Owen Power contributed with three assists. The Stars struggled despite Jake Oettinger's efforts, marking a disappointing start to the season.
