How did Kevyn Adams earn Terry Pegula’s trust and how has he kept it? After conversations with 10 people in and around the Sabres the last decade-plus and a lengthy sit down with Adams, a story on a record playoff drought. “They’re on a hamster wheel.” https://t.co/P8sC2lcxgq

The Sabres announced that they've signed F Trevor Kuntar to a one-year, two-way contract. He has 13 points in 24 games in Rochester this season.

The Sabres overcame injuries to key players, officiating and a Connor McDavid third-period surge to escape Edmonton with a thrilling 4-3 OT win. “We played one hell of a game. We battled every element out there.” Thoughts from Edmonton: https://t.co/fCUOAEUAdD

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff was pissed about the officiating. Wasn't happy with a missed icing call onMcDavid's first goal and was questioning why there was no review for goalie interference on the game-tying goal late in the third. "Was the guy not on the edge of the crease?"

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on the Alex Tuch hand pass overturned a goal: "The gloved pass, I don’t know where that came from. I don’t think anybody in the league knows anymore where it comes from ... There's two hands on his stick. I don't even think he sees the puck."

Sabres coach Lindy Ruff on Josh Norris dealing with illness/soreness: "Not related to what he had earlier. We had a report he wasn't feeling well. And then in warm-up, he tweaked something and that was the point we had to take him out of the game."

Alex Tuch scores in OT and the Sabres escape with an overtime win.

Connor McDavid ties the game with one second left in the third period. Unreal. He took this game over and the Sabres’ three-goal lead vanished. Edmonton and Buffalo heading to OT tied at 3.

The Oilers have completely tilted the ice in the third period.

Rasmus Dahlin takes a tripping penalty, and the Oilers are heading to the power play with 12:09 to play in the third period.

The Oilers get another one. Podkolzin got a rebound in front of the net. The Oilers have two goals in the first two minutes of the third period. The Sabres are now up just 3-2, and the building has come alive in Edmonton.

Connor McDavid scores 10 seconds into the third period and cuts the Sabres lead to 3-1.

The Sabres will head into the third period with a 3-0 lead in Edmonton, just like we all expected. Buffalo is 7-1 when leading after two periods this season.

Josh Doan gets another power play goal, and the Sabres are up 3-0. Doan went between the legs right at the front of the net.

Tage Thompson gets one anyway. Botched play by the Bouchard around the Edmonton net, and Thompson gets a clean look. Sabres up 2-0.

The Sabres' goal has been taken off the board. Refs say there was a "missed game stoppage." No further explanation. Can only assume they were looking at Alex Tuch, who may have either had a high stick or a hand pass right before Thompson scored. Either way, Sabres lead stays 1-0

The Sabres get another goal to go up 2-0. Tage Thompson crashed the crease for a rebound. Edmonton is challenging.

Colten Ellis is out for the game with an upper body injury.

No Jason Zucker, no Josh Norris and now no Colten Ellis. But the Sabres take a 1-0 lead to the first intermission in Edmonton.

Alex Lyon is coming into the game for the Sabres. Colten Ellis took a hard hit that led to that Buffalo power play.
