With just six games remaining before the NHL's two-week break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, every point in the standings feels especially valuable. The Boston
With the game tied 2-2, Buffalo outshot Edmonton 11-1 to start the third period before Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored his second goal of the game, giving the Oilers their first lead of the afternoon. That tally was ultimately the game winner as the Sabres concluded their road trip with a 1-3-0 record.
