Peterka achieves first win without conceding a goal with Buffalo

For the German national ice hockey player JJ Peterka, the Buffalo Sabers are currently alternating between wins and losses in the NHL, most recently the Sabers beat Los Angeles 1-0 (0-0, 0-0, 1-0) away from home Kings through. For the first time in the current season of the North American Ice Hockey League, the Sabers failed to concede a goal. Buffalo goalkeeper Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped all 24 shots on goal.

Jason Zucker scored the winning goal for the visitors 48 seconds into the third period. After Peterka had always scored at least one point in the last six games, the 22-year-old attacker was not involved in a goal this time.

Nico Sturm was missing from the San Jose Sharks’ 5-2 away loss to the Dallas Stars due to an upper body injury. It was the third NHL game in a row that Sturm missed. Philipp Grubauer was not in goal in the Seattle Kraken’s 3-0 win against the Nashville Predators.
