TORONTO — The home team came back from a two-goal deficit to win a pre-season game against a regional rival.
Unfortunately for Sabres fans, Buffalo was not the home team.
After a scoreless first period, the Sabres got on the board first, when Mikhail Grigorenko snapped a shot past Jonathan Bernier just 25 seconds into the second period. Nicolas Deslauriers made it 2-0 Sabres at 9:24 of the period. Phil Kessel made it 2-1 when he snapped one past Andrey Makarov just 59 seconds later.
In the third, James van Riemsdyk scored a power play goal for the Leafs at 9:49 of the period. That tied it at 2, where it remained through regulation — and overtime.
In the shoot out, van Riemsdyk scored on the Leafs first attempt. The Sabres first two shooters, Cody Hodgson and and Chris Stewart missed. As did the Leafs second and third shooters, William Nylander and Tyler Bozak. Grigorenko kept the Sabres' hopes alive, though, knotting it at 1 goal a piece in the shootout.
The Leafs fourth shooter, Nazem Kadri got it past Makarov. Joel Armia answered for the Sabres. Peter Holland then scored for the Leafs, leaving it to the Sabres' Torrey Mitchel to send it to a sixth round, but he failed to get it past Bernier, leaving the Leafs the victor.
The Sabres are now 2-2 on the pre-season with two games to go, next of which is Wednesday in Buffalo against the Washington Capitals.
