This victory propels St. Louis closer to a playoff spot, now tied with Vancouver at 50 points, just one shy of Calgary in the wild-card race. Meanwhile, the Golden Knights continue to struggle, losing six of their last seven games but remain just a point ahead of Edmonton in the Pacific Division. Key players included Tomas Hertl and Brett Howden for Vegas, with Hertl scoring his ninth power-play goal of the season.

Jason Zucker's power-play goal with 9:30 left in the game propelled the Buffalo Sabres to a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues, marking Buffalo's third consecutive win. The Sabres' triumph was highlighted by Jiri Kulich's breakaway goal that slipped past Blues goalie Jordan Binnington with just 3:41 remaining, further cementing their lead. Tage Thompson, facing his former team, contributed significantly with a goal and an assist, while Zucker added another goal and an assist, and Jack Quinn facilitated two assists.

This victory was particularly noteworthy for Buffalo, as it represented only their second win in St. Louis over the past twelve years, allowing them to sweep the season series against the Blues. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen was instrumental in goal for the Sabres, making 35 saves to secure the win. In contrast, the Blues struggled offensively, with Brayden Schenn and Nathan Walker being the only players to find the net, while Binnington managed just 12 saves.

Buffalo's recent resurgence is evident, having scored 17 goals across their last three games following a dismal 13-game losing streak. The Blues, meanwhile, continue to struggle, particularly on the power play, where they are tied for the lowest home power-play goals in the NHL and failed to capitalize on four opportunities during the game. The Sabres' efficiency was a stark contrast, having previously struggled on the road with power plays this season.

Looking ahead, the Blues will face the Chicago Blackhawks in the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field, while the Sabres will head to Dallas for their next matchup.
