SUNRISE, Fla. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Sabres came alive in the second period and won their second straight game in the Sunshine State with a 3-1 win over the Florida Panthers.

Alex Tuch also found the back of the net for goal number 28 on the season in the second.

But the story of the night has to Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson who posted a monster stat line in the win.
