Owen Power scores in OT and Sabers rally from 2 goals down to beat Wild 3-2

The Buffalo Sabres staged a dramatic comeback to defeat the Minnesota Wild 3-2 in overtime at KeyBank Center, snapping the Wild’s undefeated start to the season. Owen Power delivered the game-winning goal in the extra period, capping a rally from a two-goal deficit that saw the Sabres overcome a sluggish power play unit, which has struggled to generate offense in recent games.

The victory keeps Buffalo unbeaten on home ice, a critical stretch as they face a challenging stretch of back-to-back games against Minnesota, Dallas, Utah, and Florida. Meanwhile, the Wild’s momentum was tested by injuries, with Danila Yurov returning to the lineup alongside Kirill Kaprizov, who played his 400th NHL game in the matchup.

Minnesota’s goaltending duo, Jesper Wallstedt and Colten Ellis—who made his season debut after a waiver claim—faced off, with Ellis aiming to build on his strong performance from a previous shootout win over the Wild.
