by JOHN WAWROW | Associated PressNew York Islanders center Kyle Palmieri is stopped by Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen during the second period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, March 14, 2024, in Buffalo, N.Y.

Buffalo improved to 8-3-1 in its past 12 and continued inching back into contention. The Sabres pulled three points behind the Islanders and Red Wings who were tied for the second wild card. Though not tested often, Luukkonen made several key saves. His best came with 8:02 left in the second period, when Luukkonen got across to get a piece of Bo Horvat’s blast from the right circle with the puck trickling just wide of the far post.
