WINNIPEG -- An unselfish play by Sabres' forward Evander Kane allowed for the first hat trick of Sam Reinhart's career -- in the Sabres' first win in six games and Kane's first game against his former team, the Winnipeg Jets.
Reinhart scored early for the Sabres, putting Buffalo on the board just 1:37 into the first period. Johan Larsson and Mike Weber assisted. Blake Wheeler tied it for the Jets at 5:21, deflecting a shot by Bryan Little. Former Sabre Drew Stafford also assisted on the play. Stafford was part of the February 2015 trade deal that brought Kane to Buffalo. Reinhart scored again at 14:29 of the first period, assisted this time by Rasmus Ristolainen and Jack Eichel.
In the second period, Mathie Perrault tied it at 2 with a snap shot just 55 seconds in. Andrew Ladd and Bryan Little scored on the goal.
Marcus Foligno put the Sabres back in the lead at 4:12 of the third period, assisted by Brian Gionta and Jake McCabe. With just 26 seconds to go, Kane was fed the puck by Ryan O'Reilly with a chance at and empty-net goal against his former team. But Kane passed the puck to Reinhart for his third goal of the game and 12th of the season.
The Sabres, now 16-22-4 next play the Wild in Minnesota on Tuesday.

BUFFALO — The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Evander Kane, defenseman Zach Bogosian and goaltender Jason Kasdorf from the Winnipeg Jets in exchange for defenseman Tyler Myers, forwards Drew Stafford and Joel Armia, the rights to prospect Brendan Lemieux, as well as the Sabres’ latest first-round draft pick in the 2015 NHL Draft.
The team announced the multi-player deal just moments ago.
Kane (6’2”, 198 lbs., 8/2/91) has played in six NHL seasons with the Winnipeg Jets/Atlanta Thrashers franchise since being drafted in the first round (fourth overall) of the 2009 NHL Draft. In 2011-12, he led the Jets with 30 goals and, at 20 years old, was the NHL’s youngest 30-goal scorer that season. He has amassed 222 points (109+113) in 361 career NHL games, including 22 points (10+12) in 37 games played this season.
The Vancouver, B.C. native played for Team Canada at the World Junior Championship in 2009, helping Canada win the gold medal. He also played three seasons (2006-07 – 2008-09) with the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League.
Bogosian (6’3”, 225 lbs., 7/15/90) has played in seven seasons with the Jets/Thrashers organization after being selected by Atlanta in the first round (third overall) of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft, recording 127 points (40+87) and 325 penalty minutes in 393 career NHL games. The Massena native led all rookie defensemen with nine goals in 2008-09 and set career highs in assists (25) and points (30) in 65 games with Winnipeg in 2011-12.
In 41 games this season, Bogosian has tallied 13 points (3+10) and 40 penalty minutes while averaging 22:10 of ice time per game.
Kasdorf (6’3”, 178 lbs., 5/18/92), drafted by Winnipeg in the sixth round (157th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft, is currently playing for the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he earned ECAC Rookie of the Year.
