ROUNDUP Monday's other games
Sabres 4, Stars 3
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Miroslav Satan and Daniel Briere each had a goal and an assist as Buffalo won its first game of the season. The Sabres, shut out in their first two contests, discovered their offense early against Dallas. Ales Kotalik snapped the Sabres' scoreless streak at 124 minutes, 36 seconds with a goal in the first period. Just 29 seconds later, the Sabres scored again as Taylor Pyatt lifted a wrist shot over Marty Turco's shoulder. Stu Barnes made it 2-1 with his third goal of the season for Dallas. Briere pushed Buffalo's lead to 3-1 midway through the second period and Satan added a power-play goal. The Stars got power-play goals by Stephane Robidas and Philippe Boucher in the third period.
Hurricanes 2, Panthers 2
RALEIGH, N.C. -- Roberto Luongo stopped 33 shots to keep Carolina winless. The Hurricanes scored one goal in each of their first two losses and did one better than that against the Panthers, but Luongo was as tough to beat as four days ago when the Panthers defeated Carolina 3-1. Luongo saved his best stop for overtime when he stoned a wide open Sean Hill from 20 feet with a beautiful glove save. The Hurricanes are 0-2-1 -- their worst start since 1997-98. Carolina trailed 2-1 after Marcus Nilson scored Florida's second power-play goal midway through the second period. Kristian Huselius scored the other Panthers goal. Jesse Boulerice and Josef Vasicek had goals for Carolina.
Capitals 2, Maple Leafs 2
TORONTO -- Olaf Kolzig made 34 saves, and Robert Lang scored the tying goal on the power play as Washington rallied for a tie with Toronto. Toronto captain Mats Sundin received a holding penalty before Lang's goal tied it at 8:49 of the third period. Sergei Gonchar also scored for the Capitals, who were outshot 36-18. Washington's Boyd Gordon accidentally deflected the puck into his own net in the first period, with Nik Antropov getting credit for the goal. Alexander Mogilny added a goal for the Maple Leafs. The Maple Leafs, booed off the ice in Saturday's 4-0 season-opening loss to Montreal, went 1-for-8 on the power-play.
