Samuelsson's OT goal lifts Sabres past Red Wings, 5-4, for first road win of season

DETROIT (AP) — Mattias Samuelsson scored at 1:05 of overtime as Buffalo rallied from a three-goal deficit to snap a five-game losing streak with a 5-4 win over Detroit on Saturday night.

Tage Thompson had a goal and set up Samuelsson's winner. Josh Doan also had a goal and an assist as the Sabres got their first road win this season. Buffalo had gone 0-5-2 in road games as the only team not to have a road victory

Ryan McLeod scored the tying goal on a short-handed breakaway. Alex Tuch also scored while Colten Ellis made 24 saves.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin added an assist. He rejoined the team after a three-game leave of absence. Dahlin spent a week in Sweden visiting his fiancee, who is recuperating from heart transplant surgery.

Alex DeBrincat scored two goals for the second straight game for the Red Wings. He also had two goals and an assist against Anaheim on Thursday.

Dylan Larkin scored his team-high 11th goal and Patrick Kane scored his first goal since Oct. 15. Lucas Raymond added three assists and John Gibson made 22 saves.

The teams scored 29 seconds apart midway through the first period. Kane tapped in a pass from Ben Chiarot but Tuch answered with a backhander after Gibson couldn't corral a loose puck in the crease.

Detroit led 4-2 after two periods. Raymond assisted on all three of the Red Wings' goals during the period. Larkin lifted a shot into the upper left-hand cornet of the net during a four-on-four situation in between DeBrincat's goals. Doan scored late in the period, deflecting Dahlin's shot from the point.

Thompson's goal at 4:25 of the third pulled the Sabres within one. McLeod converted his short-handed goal midway through the period for the tying goal.

Sabres: Host Edmonton on Monday night.

Red Wings: Visit New York Rangers on Sunday.

ISLAMABAD (AP) — A gas cylinder explosion early Sunday after a wedding reception at a home in Pakistan’s capital killed at least eight people, including the bride and groom, police and officials said.

The blast occurred as guests who had gathered to celebrate the couple were sleeping at the house, causing part of the house to collapse, according to the Islamabad police. Seven people were injured.

In a statement, police said the explosion occurred in a residential area in the heart of the city. A government administrator, Sahibzada Yousaf, said authorities were alerted about the blast early Sunday and officers are still investigating. He said some nearby homes were also damaged.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed grief over the loss of lives and offered condolences to the victims’ families, according to a statement from his office. He directed health authorities to ensure the injured receive the best possible treatment and ordered a full investigation.

Many Pakistani households rely on liquefied petroleum gas cylinders because of low natural gas pressure, and such cylinders have been linked to deadly accidents caused by gas leaks. Police said investigations were ongoing.
