BUFFALO, N.Y. - Matt Moulson watched the puck carom awkwardly off the boards and onto his path. He could hardly believe his fortune.The Sabres forward scored a tiebreaking power-play goal with 1:18 left when a dump-in caught Montreal goalie Carey Price out of the net, lifting Buffalo to a 2-1 victory over the Canadiens on Friday night.It must be a lucky day, so Ill take it, Moulson said. I dont think Ive had one off the stanchion before.Tyler Ennis added a highlight-reel goal, and Jhonas Enroth made 30 saves as the Sabres rebounded from a home loss to Winnipeg on Wednesday.You never shoot it off the glass and hope it goes in the net, Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. Once in a while, luck comes if you continue to do the right things.It was the first win against Montreal in seven tries for the Sabres, who have won four of five after a 3-13-2 start.P.A. Parenteaus third-period, power-play goal ended Montreals scoring slump at 132 minutes, 36 seconds, but it wasnt enough for the Canadiens to avoid their second-straight loss.Montreal coach Michel Therrien chalked it up to luck, too, just not the good kind.Its a bad break, he said of Moulsons game-winner. Theres nothing you can do against a bad break.Buffalos first goal was a stunner, and it came just 3:27 into the game.Ennis skated through the right circle and around defenceman Alexei Emelin, but had to leap over Price in the crease. Falling with his back to the net, Ennis found the moving puck and flipped in a backhanded shot from the bottom of the left circle.I was thinking I was going pretty fast through the zone, and if I could just take it to the net Id get a chance, Ennis said. I got the puck back up on my stick and got lucky.Tyson Strachan then sent a two-line pass to send Torrey Mitchell in on a breakaway, but the Sabres centre put a low shot wide of the left post.Sabres right wing Drew Stafford was injured in the first period and didnt return. Nolan said Stafford was feeling better and would make the trip to Montreal for Saturdays game.Enroth was challenged by a series of shots during a scrum in the crease about 8 minutes into the second period, but was saved by a whistle with the loose puck in between a series of skates at the edge of the crease.You need to get those breaks sometimes, Enroth said. We need to keep building on those breaks and stay positive here.Moulson nearly made it 2-0 midway through the second, but his shot went off the butt end of Prices goal stick and wide of the net.The Canadiens had a chance on the power play just 55 seconds into third period, and they needed just 40 seconds to tie the game on a disputed goal.Enroth had the puck under his skate for multiple seconds when Parenteau jammed it free and into the net. The play wasnt reviewable.He said that I needed to cover it 100 per cent, Enroth said. If you ask me, I covered it with my foot. It shouldnt matter if you cover it with your glove or your foot, but playing against Montreal youre not going to get a lot of calls.Montreal carried the period, and Enroth made several tough saves including a chest stop on Max Pacioretty with 15 minutes gone.Emelin elbowed former teammate Gionta in the head at the 18:06, starting a mild skirmish and sending Buffalo to a late power play.But Ennis late dump-in took a wild bounce off the end boards to Moulson, who had skated hard into the slot. Moulson was left with an empty net to score the winning goal.Thats the way hockey goes, Ennis said. It doesnt matter how it goes in. As long as we get the win, were happy.We drew it up on the bench exactly like that.Price made 23 saves in the loss.NOTES: The Sabres signed free agent forward Jean Dupuy of the Sault Ste.

The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say.J.A. Happ wants to be like his teammates. The left-hander gets a chance to prolong a stretch of recently solid starting pitching for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night, when they host the Tampa Bay Rays in game one of a three-game weekend series at Rogers Centre. Toronto has won five straight games and nine of 11, a stretch in which its starters have posted a 2.12 earned run average. During the five-game win streak, the Blue Jays starters have allowed four runs in 29 1/3 innings. Starters have thrown at least six innings in 17 straight games, which nears a record run of 19 consecutive games Toronto established in 1998. Happ has split two decisions over his last three starts, but took a 4-3 loss to Boston on Saturday after allowing four runs on seven hits and walking three. "Maybe I have to kind of rethink the game plan going on," Happ said. "You feel like youre executing, (but) not getting the results, (and) try to figure out whats going on. Well definitely take a look and see if we have to change something." Hes 2-1 in five career starts against the Rays, including a 2.13 ERA in two straight wins. He last met them in a relief capacity on July 12 and allowed two runs in two-thirds of an inning. The Blue Jays won three straight over Tampa at Tropicana Field last week and outscored the hosts, 16-6. Nathan Karns makes his Tampa Bay debut on the mound in place of Drew Smyly, who was shut down for the season after exceeding 150 innings. Karns lost his lone decision in three starts for Washington last season andd was 9-9 in 27 starts for the Rays Triple-A affiliate in Durham, N.ddddddddddddC. in 2014. "Hes been a little bit back and forth," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "Theres been times hes been lights-out. Other times, maybe he doesnt survive the third or fourth inning." On Thursday in New York, Chris Young broke up Alex Cobbs no-hit bid in the eighth inning, then belted a walk-off three-run homer in the ninth to give the Yankees a dramatic 5-4 win over Tampa Bay. Youngs one-out shot into the left-field seats on a 97 mph fastball came after Rays closer Jake McGee (4-2) hit Chase Headley in the chin with a pitch and gave up a double to Ichiro Suzuki. An inning earlier, Young ended Cobbs bid after 7 1/3 innings with a double to right-center field. Yunel Escobar homered twice off New York starter Michael Pineda -- a three-run blast in the fourth inning and a solo shot in the seventh -- but the Rays blew a sparkling outing from their starter. On Wednesday in Toronto, Drew Hutchison tossed 6 1/3 strong innings and was backed with plenty of offensive support as the Blue Jays completed a three- game sweep of the Chicago Cubs with an 11-1 victory. Hutchison (10-11) surrendered just one run on four hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts to earn the win. "He was outstanding," Toronto catcher Dioner Navarro said. Edwin Encarnacion, Navarro and Danny Valencia each drove in two runs and Anthony Gose had two hits, an RBI and three runs scored for the Blue Jays. ' ' '
