Ducks goalie John Gibson made a save on a 2-on-1 break, but Kulich scored off the rebound. Peyton Krebs and Jason Zucker also scored, Owen Power had three assists and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 22 saves for the Sabres (10-9-1), who have won three of four.

For the first time in 2024-25, the Buffalo Sabres climbed above the .500 mark.The team did so in poetic fashion; lying face-down on the mat, the blue and gold turned a 2-0 deficit in the waning moments of the second period into a 3-2 victory with moments left in overtime against the Anaheim Ducks inside Honda Center.
