Thompson, Peterka each net hat tricks
Two days after their 32-29 loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game, the Buffalo Bills caught a stray during the Buffalo Sabres’ 7-2 blowout win over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday night.
The Boston Bruins suffered an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Jan. 28. With the Sabres at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings, this was a winnable game for Boston, but they were blown out instead.
The lead lasted all of 55 seconds. The B’s top line got hemmed in its own end for much of the shift and, after it finally pushed it out of the zone, the players got caught in a change. On a Sabre 4-on-3, Matt Poitras got lost out high and Dylan Cozens connected with the wide-open trailer Thompson, who ripped a slapper past Swayman.
The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. EST and wil be broadcast on NESN.
