BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Evander Kane and the Buffalo Sabres brought relentless pressure Wednesday night. The payoff came just in time.
Kane tied it with 4:29 left with his first goal for Buffalo, and the Sabres came back to beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 2-1 in a shootout.
"We felt we weren't going to be shutout, and we made that happen," Kane said.
Kane tied it on the team's 33rd shot when he pushed a wrister over Bernier's shoulder. Buffalo acquired Kane from Winnipeg in February, but he was unable to play until this season after having shoulder surgery (see full recap).
