The Carolina Hurricanes' home dominance over the Buffalo Sabres continued on Monday, as Seth Jarvis scored the game-winning goal in the third period. The Hurricanes' 2-1 victory was their 13th consecutive win over the Sabres at home, the longest active streak in the NHL. Jarvis broke the 1-1 tie just 2:10 into the third period, capitalizing on a power play opportunity. Andrei Svechnikov had a goal and an assist in the win, while Sebastian Aho provided two assists. Rookie goalie Brandon Bussi made 18 saves to improve his record to 18-3-1. Rasmus Dahlin scored for the Sabres, who struggled to find their offense despite having scored at least three goals in their previous seven games. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 26 saves for Buffalo, which began a five-game road trip. The Hurricanes, now on a three-game winning streak, have won five consecutive home games. They held a 20-11 edge in shots through two periods, but Bussi's strong performance in the net kept the Sabres from regaining the lead. Carolina winger Eric Robinson left the game in the first period with an upper-body injury and did not return.
