‘Tuch gave the Sabres a three-goal advantage that was slashed to one in the third period after Devils center Jack Hughes scored twice in 4:13, but New Jersey was unable to draw closer as goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen snapped his five-start winless streak with 27 saves. Buffalo (34-31-6) had four different players with two or more points, led by Tuch’s three, and prevented New Jersey (45-19-6) from clinching a playoff spot.’
