Rasmus Dahlin opened the scoring just 26 seconds into the game, leading the Buffalo Sabres to a dominant 6-1 victory over the New York Rangers. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was impressive in net, making 25 saves while the Sabres showcased their offensive prowess with goals from Dylan Cozens, Tage Thompson, Jordan Greenway, and Sam Lafferty in the second period.

Igor Shesterkin struggled, allowing five goals on 12 shots before being replaced by Jonathan Quick. Zach Benson added a power-play goal in the third, while the Rangers' Will Cuylle managed to spoil Luukkonen's shutout bid. The Sabres' strong performance follows their recent win against Ottawa, while the Rangers faced their second regulation loss at home this season.
