In what Rick Tocchet called "a microcosm of our season," the Vancouver Canucks gave up a one-goal lead in the third period to the Buffalo Sabres.

The Buffalo Sabres got back in the win column on Tuesday evening. After another tough matchup with the Seattle Kraken Monday, the blue and gold rebounded with a promising 3-2 win in Vancouver over the Canucks.

Jiri Kulich led the charge with a goal and two assists as the Buffalo Sabres (18-24-5) rallied for a thrilling 3-2 road victory over the Vancouver Canucks (20-16-10) on Tuesday.

Sabres rookie Jiri Kulich had a goal and two assists centering the top line in Tuesday night’s 3-2 comeback win on the road against the Vancouver Canucks. Kulich tipped in JJ Peterka’s shot for the tying goal at 8:42 into the third period.

Rasmus Dahlin remains one of the top defensemen in the NHL. He has 32 points in 38 games and is averaging 24:33 this season. If the Canucks are going to have success on Tuesday, they need to limit Dahlin's chances and try to frustrate the 24-year-old.
