Still, the Rangers defended better than they have despite losing K’Andre Miller before the start of the third period.Igor Shesterkin, making one of his 29 saves, picked up his first win since signing his big contract extension with the Rangers.Reilly Smith then scored his third goal in the past four games to give the Rangers some insurance.

The Sabres pulled their goalie with over two minutes to go, but Adam Fox hurled his first goal of the season into an empty net from the corner of the Rangers zone.It was ultimately the game-winner as Tage Thompson made it a one-goal game with less than a minute left. Getting to the middle of the ice and winning puck battles, the visitors managed to draw two penalties through the opening 20 minutes.
