Buffalo Sabres at Toronto Maple Leafs | FULL Overtime Highlights – March 6, 2024

THE EXTRA POINT HERE. SHOULD BE A GOOD START. TUCH AND COZENS AND POWER AGAINST MARNER, MATTHEWS, AND RIELLY. >> Chris: FIRST POSSESSION GOES TO BUFFALO. AND MARNER KNOCKED IT OFF THE STICK OF POWER. PICKED UP, THOUGH, BY TUCH. UP AHEAD IT GOES. AND OWEN POWER TO WORK.

MATTHEWS CUTS HIM OFF WITH THE PASS. HANDING IT OFF TO COZENS AND HE’LL REGROUP BACK AT CENTRE. TRACKED THERE BY RIELLY. NOW TUCH WILL WIND IT UP. HERE’S ALEX TUCH WIDE ON MATTHEWS, AND THAT WENT OFF THE STICK AND SAMSONOV HAD TO BE

GOOD ON FRIENDLY FIRE THERE. >> Craig: DID HE EVER. >> Chris: HERE COMES MATTHEWS. LATE IN THIS FIRST SHIFT OF OVERTIME. TUCH TRACKED HIM, NYLANDER COMES ON. BUT IT BOUNCED OVER THE STICK OF TUCH. MATTHEWS BACK IN. TRYING TO KICK IT LOOSE. AND LOST CONTROL. SO HE GOES OFF.

DAHLIN’S ON THE ICE. SO IS CALLE JARNKROK. BUT NYLANDER, RASMUS DAHLIN IS IN. TAGE THOMPSON AND SKINNER WITH HIM. THOMPSON IN BEHIND THE NET. AND LILJEGREN STAYS WITH HIM. CHALLENGE THERE FROM JARNKROK. HE’S UP WITH IT. TWO-ON-ONE! NYLANDER OVER THE LINE! JARNKROK! AND IT GOES OFF HIM WIDE.

BACK TO TJ BRODIE. BACK TO JARNKROK. AND BRODIE, NYLANDER HEADING OFF. RIGHT BACK ON TO THE ICE COMES MARNER. >> Craig: YOU CAN CREDIT SKINNER WITH COMING BACK SO QUICKLY, THAT FORCED NYLANDER TO JUST FIRE THAT PASS ACROSS. HE DIDN’T HAVE TIME BECAUSE OF

THE QUICK CLOSE THERE OF SKINNER DEFENSIVELY. >> Chris: COZENS TO WORK AGAINST BRODIE. WORKING IN! AND HE FIRED IT HIGH. POWER STEPS UP. MATTHEWS AND MARNER RIGHT BACK OUT. AS SAMSONOV HANDS IT TO BRODIE. BACK TO MARNER. BRODIE TO THE BENCH. AND RIELLY BACK OUT THERE WITH 34 AND 16.

MATTHEWS IN. CURLS BACK. HANDS IT OFF TO RIELLY. RIELLY TO THE NET! LUUKKONEN THE STOP! OFF THE SIDE OF THE NET! ALMOST SPECTACULAR STUFF FROM MORGAN RIELLY. MARNER’S GOT TO HUSTLE. JJ PETERKA SENDS IT HIGH! AND THAT ENDS UP OUT OF PLAY. CHANCES AT EITHER END IN OVERTIME.

>> Craig: YEAH, BOTH SIDES GET A COUPLE OF GOOFED AGGRESSIVE MOVES, AS TUCH INSTEAD OF GOING IN FRONT OF THE NET, TRIES TO PASS IT IN FRONT. ALMOST AN OWN-GOAL, AND THEN HOW ABOUT THE READ HERE, JUST PASS TO THE MIDDLE, WATCH THE BACK

PRESSURE THERE AS SKINNER IS COMING IN. THAT ONE GETS INTO THE FEET OF JARNKROK AND I LOVE THIS AGGRESSIVE MOVE BY NEARING RIVAL. AND — MORGAN RIELLY. RIELLY IS WATCHING IT NOW. AND MIGHT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET RIGHT ACROSS. BUT GOOD AGGRESSIVE PLAY CREATES

AN EXCELLENT CHANCE. >> Chris: TAVARES OUT IN OVERTIME. KREBS WINS THE DRAW. DAHLIN WHO HAS AN OVERTIME GOAL, WATCHED BY NYLANDER. HANDED OFF TO PEYTON KREBS. BACK TO DAHLIN. TAVARES STICKS WITH HIM. HERE’S TUCH! CHECKED BY NYLANDER! AND JUST COULDN’T GET OUT. DAHLIN HOLDS THE ZONE. IN!

AND THAT SHOT GOES WIDE. AND IT DIDN’T RICOCHET FAST ENOUGH FOR NYLANDER. WHO THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE A BREAK. IT COMES BACK THE OTHER WAY! AND DAHLIN STOPPED BY SAMSONOV AND A LIFT OF THE STICK BY TAVARES MIGHT HAVE SAVED THAT REBOUND FROM BEING TAPPED IN TOO.

NICE JOB OF COMING BACK TO THE FRONT OF THE NET BY THE LEAF CAPTAIN. >> Chris: OLOFSSON COMES OUT NOW. NYLANDER SLOWLY THROUGH CENTRE. TAVARES GOES OFF. MATTHEWS BACK ON. NYLANDER CIRCLING. AND HERE HE COMES. INTO THE ZONE. LOOKING FOR MATTHEWS. THOMPSON GOING TO TIE HIM UP.

AND BUFFALO GETS IT BACK. AND NOW OUT COME THE SABRES. POWER. LUMBERING DOWN. GIVES IT TO THOMPSON! GLOVE STOP! AND A BEAUTY FOR ILYA SAMSONOV! [ Cheering ] >> Craig: THE CROWD ON ITS FEET THERE. YOU REMEMBER ON SATURDAY, SAMSONOV WITH THE SAVE ON ARTEMI PANARIN. HERE’S THE PLAY DEFENSIVELY.

GREAT PLAY BY TAVARES. THAT’S A TAP-IN ON THAT REBOUND IF HE’S NOT THERE. AND THEN JUST A SLIDING ACROSS TO HIS RIGHT. SAMSONOV BACK TO HIS LEFT, THE GLOVE WITH A BEAUTIFUL SAVE. >> Chris: ON THE DRAW, MATTHEWS WINS IT BACK TO RIELLY. SKINNER ON THE ICE WITH COZENS.

THEY BOTH HAVE SCORED OVERTIME GOALS FOR THE SABRES. ALONG WITH DEFENCEMAN DAHLIN AND JOKIHARJU. UP TO MARNER! WITH RIELLY! MITCH MARNER TURNS BACK, WAITS FOR SOME HELP, AND THAT WILL COME BACK OUT TO CENTRE. HE’LL REGROUP. A MINUTE TO GO, THREE-ON-THREE. MARNER IN. RIELLY TO THE NET!

TOO DEEP TO GET A SHOT AWAY. HE’LL GIVE IT BACK TO MARNER. MARNER INTO THE MIDDLE. HANDS IT OFF, GETS IT BACK. AND PUTS IT IN FRONT. DEFLECTED JUST WIDE. RIELLY’S IN FRONT. SO IS MATTHEWS! SCORES! GAME-WINNER NUMBER 54 ON THE SEASON! AND THE LEAFS WIN IN OVERTIME! [ Horn ]

[ Cheering ] >> Craig: WOW, YOUR BEST PLAYERS HAVE TO BE YOUR BEST TO COME UP WITH A WIN LIKE THIS, AND IT’S SAMSONOV WHO STARTS THIS OFF. YOU KNOW YOUR BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYERS GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO WHAT THEY DO BEST BECAUSE OF THIS.

YOU KNOW, THIS GAME IS OVER IF SAMSONOV DOESN’T FLASH THE LEATHER AND MAKE THE SAVE. HOW DO YOU PAY HIM OFF? HOW ABOUT THIS EFFORT BY MITCH MARNER. WHAT HE DOES SO WELL, THE ALLUSIVENESS THROUGH 2 STICKS, AND THEN ON THE STICK OF

MATTHEWS, AND OFF IN A HALF SECOND, UP AND OVER THE BLOCKER. MATTHEWS AND MARNER HAVE DONE THIS SO MANY TIMES, HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHERE IT’S GOING TO BE AND THAT ONE A HALF A SECOND LATER IS OFF. THE POSITIONING IS GREAT. LUUKKONEN TRIES TO GET ACROSS,

AND MATTHEWS
