Sabres Stay Alive

Buffalo
Sabres

"I've always said when you're losing, you never know when you're going to win again," Sabres coach Ruff said. "And when you win a game, you think you can win them all again."

Stu Barnes is Buffalo's man of the hour as he scored 4:42 into overtime to keep the Sabres alive.

"You just react at that point," Barnes said. "I can't say I even picked the corner. I just tried to get it on net, and fortunately it went where the goalie wasn't. It's been a close series up to this point, we've just tried to stay positive going into these games, just go out and give it our best."

Curtis Brown and Miroslav Satan each had a goal and assist for the Sabres, who blew a 2-0 lead.

Flyers rookie goalie Brian Boucher had a 112-minute shutout streak snapped as he suffered his first career playoff loss.

"They seemed to throw everything tonight. You could tell they were playing desperate," said Boucher. "This was a game we wanted, but we're still up 3-1 and we need to gather ourselves, go home and give it our best."

Game 5 is on Thursday at Philadelphia.
