Philipp Kurashev had a goal and an assist,
Taylor Raddysh also scored, and Petr Mrazek made 17 saves for
the Blackhawks, who have dropped four straight.
Dahlin gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead at 4:53 of the first period.
Shortly after he set up Zach Benson for a chance in front, the
rookie repaid the favor.
Benson corralled a touch pass from Casey Mittelstadt at the blue
line and maintained possession in the right circle and along the
wall before feeding Dahlin high in the zone. The defenseman then
skated to the outer top edge of the circle for a shot that beat
Mrazek stick side.
Raddysh tied it 1-1 just moments after a Chicago power play
expired early in the second period. Kurashev took a pass from
behind the net to the right circle and sent it to Raddysh
streaking by the front of the crease for the deflection at 3:28.
Skinner put the Sabres ahead 2-1 on the power play at 10:55.
Uncovered as he emerged from behind the net, he took a pass at
the goal line from Dahlin and turned toward the net before
sending it into the far side of the net before Mrazek could get
back into position. It was Skinner's eighth goal of the season.
Kurashev was in the right place at the right time to tie it 2-2
at 17:28. Connor Bedard carried the puck in from the red line to
just above the right circle for a shot that Luukkonen stopped
with his right pad. But the rebound hit the skate of Sabres
defenseman Mattias Samuelsson as it bounced to the left circle
for Kurashev.
Johnson skated down the left side and around Chicago defenseman
Seth Jones before sending a chip shot high from the bottom of
the circle over Mrazek to make it 3-2 Buffalo at 10:36 of the
third period.
