Holmqvist won for the eighth time in 10 starts for the Lightning, whose previous six road games were all decided by one goal. Tampa Bay overcame a 31-20 shot disadvantage to beat the Hurricanes for the second time in 13 days.
Sabres 3, Bruins 1
BOSTON -- Chris Drury scored twice and Martin Biron made 33 saves to lead Buffalo.

Biron has won five straight starts against Boston, and the Sabres are 5-0-1 against the Bruins this season. After allowing an early goal to Marco Sturm, Biron was perfect. He stopped 14 shots in the second period and 12 more in the third. Daniel Briere had two assists, and Jason Pominville added a goal for the Sabres, who lead the Eastern Conference with 74 points despite going 6-7-1 in January.
