BUFFALO -- The Buffalo Sabres honored former goaltender Ryan Miller to start the game Saturday afternoon. They beat him to finish it.
A slick goal by Rasmus Ristolainen on the Sabres' 22nd shot of the afternoon put the Sabres up 3-2 and chased Miller from the net for the final 17 seconds of the game. It was Ristolainen's second goal of the game, assisted by Marcus Foligno and Tyler Ennis.
The Vancouver Canucks outshot the Sabres 15-4 in the first period, but couldn't solve Linus Ullmark, who stopped 35 of 37 shots overall.
Jamie McGinn started the scoring for the Sabres at 2:18 of the second period, assisted by Mark Pysyk and Jack Eichel. At 8:10, Ristolainen netted his first of the game, also assisted by Eichel, who had his first two-point game of his young career. Brian Gionta also assisted on the goal. Henrik Sedin made it 2-1 at 13:33, assisted by Daniel Sedin and Ben Hutton.
Midway through the third, Chris Higgins tied it for Vancouver unassisted at 10:15. Ristolainen's goal at 19:43 sealed the deal for the Sabres.
