  "account": "The Buffalo Sabres staged an incredible comeback to defeat the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-4 in overtime on Thursday. The game began with a flurry of offensive play, with Kirill Marchenko putting the Leafs ahead 4-2 just 16 minutes and 51 seconds into the second period. However, Buffalo's Jack Quinn quickly responded with two goals, tying the score at 4-4. The tension continued throughout the third period, with Dennis Gilbert and Mattias Samuelsson scoring for the Sabres, putting them ahead once again. Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 26 saves for the Sabres, who were coming off a shootout loss to Montreal two nights earlier. Auston Matthews scored for Toronto, while Sergei Bobrovsky made 29 saves for the Sabres. Power, who was acquired from Columbus just before the season began, scored the game-winning goal in overtime, taking a feed from Quinn at center ice and blasting it past Bobrovsky. Marchenko, who had scored only once for Toronto before Thursday, had put the Leafs ahead with his third goal at 16:51 of the second period. Tavares, the former Toronto captain, left the game early in the third after colliding with Buffalo forward Josh Norris, favoring his left leg. The Sabres will face the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday, while the Maple Leafs will host the New York Islanders.",
