The Buffalo Sabres triumphed over the Boston Bruins 6-3, marking their fourth consecutive win. Tage Thompson's impressive hat trick played a crucial role in the comeback, as he scored after the Bruins initially led 2-0. Jason Zucker's pivotal go-ahead goal came early in the third period, while the Sabres' strong performance helped stave off playoff elimination, with seven victories in their last eight games. The Bruins, conversely, remain last in the Atlantic Division after a dismal stretch of losses, despite recent improvements.
