NEW YORK - Patrick Kaleta banked in a rebound off goalie Henrik Lundqvist 2:22 into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres beat the New York Rangers 2-1 on Sunday night to snap an eight-game winless streak on the road.
Adam Mair gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead with 5:57 left in regulation, before Brandon Dubinsky tied it.
Dubinsky rescued the Rangers from a second shutout in two days when he crashed the net and scored his 16th goal to make it 1-1 with 1:23 remaining. New York had gone 149 minutes 30 seconds without a goal, dating to the second period of a 5-4 home loss in overtime to Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

What do you think of the two-year deal worth $2.75 million per season Chris Stewart signed with Colorado?
"I think we'll be a real nice surprise this year. Some people, you know, are hard on us...as far as the end of the year and not being happy at how things went. It's a fun time of year. You read all the different things - what some people like or are excited for. Some people pick certain teams to win. But none of that really matters. It's all proving it on the ice. Other years, we've been picked to do this and that. That's part of the fun at this time of the year, but I can't wait to get back playing."
