Tuesday news: Bah humbug – Leafs gift-wrap win for Sabres in OT

The Leafs were minutes away from ending their losing streak against the Buffalo Sabres, but defensive lapses in both the third period and overtime resulted in a 3-2 defeat for Toronto. Derek Roy scored the winner in the extra frame after being uncovered in front of the net, on what head coach Ron Wilson labelled as a “peewee” level mistake.

Viktor Stalberg had his second goal in 3 games since his recall from the Marlies last week. Ian White also scored for Toronto.

Sabres goalie Ryan Miller made 34 saves in the win. Buffalo has now defeated Toronto nine straight times.

The Leafs next game is Wednesday in Long Island, against the New York Islanders.
