BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Detroit Red Wings forward Thomas Vanek heard the boos and knew exactly what move he would use in his shootout attempt.Vanek drifted down the ice and waved his stick over the puck before firing a shot past Robin Lehners glove to give the Red Wings a 2-1 shootout win over the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night.Vanek spent nine-plus seasons in Buffalo before being dealt to the New York Islanders in October 2013 in what began as the Sabres purge of aging, high-priced players. He played the next two seasons in Minnesota before his contract was bought out by the Wild. The 11-time 20-goal scorer then signed with the Red Wings last summer.Once they booed me, I figured I had to show them the move theyve seen before, Vanek said. Yeah, obviously, I wanted to score for our team. But once that happened, I wanted to score even more.Vanek added an assist in regulation, while Gustav Nyquist scored in regulation and in the shootout as the Red Wings snapped a four-game losing streak. Brian Gionta scored the Sabres regulation goal.Well its a big deal to get two points, Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. When you havent had enough points, youve got to find a way to win, and sometimes its not as pretty as you want it to be and theres moments where it wasnt pretty, but we found a way to two points.After 36 scoreless minutes, the Red Wings went ahead when Nyquist found the back of the net following a spinning pass from Vanek. The goal was Nyquists team-leading fourth of the season.Buffalo tied it 1:42 into the third when Gionta stuffed a rebound behind goalie Jimmy Howard. Detroit challenged, but it stood as called.The teams traded scoring chances in the 3-on-3 overtime period. Sabres defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen had two scoring opportunities but was twice turned away by Howard, who stopped 32 shots for the Red Wings and turned away two of the Sabres three shootout attempts.After scoring four goals against the Flames on Monday, the Sabres scored just one in regulation, marking the 11th time this season they have scored one or fewer goals in regulation. They have failed to score at least two regulation goals in eight of their last 11 games.Its frustrating being that close, Sabres center Ryan OReilly said. The issue is scoring goals. I thought throughout the lineup guys were playing very well tonight. Its up top, its myself. I got to find a way to do something, to put one away.Meanwhile, the Sabres are 1/3 in shootouts, and Lehner, who made 23 saves, still has not stopped a shot in a shootout this season.Game notes OReilly returned after missing five games with an oblique injury. ... Sabres C Jack Eichel skated with the team Wednesday for the first time since injuring his ankle in practice on Oct. 12, a day before Buffalos season opener. Coach Dan Bylsma did not provide a timetable for his return. ... Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula got some good news about their NFL team, the Buffalo Bills. WR Sammy Watkins returned to practice for the first time since going on injured reserve with a foot injury. Buffalo got two of its biggest stars back Wednesday, but which is more important? Well Sammy Watkins, for me, Bills coach Rex Ryan said. As much as I love Jack Eichel, hes not paying any bills for me. Technically, (Eichel) is paying for somebody else in the organization though, isnt he? But I think, (with) my season tickets -- Id like to see Eichel play. Its a great question. Obviously, Sammy is such a great talent for us, but man the Sabres need scoring. Tough call. ... Red Wings F Tomas Jurco was assigned to Grand Rapids, Detroits AHL affiliate, for conditioning. Hes missed every game this season while recovering from offseason back surgery but is inching closer to a return.NEXT UPRed Wings: Play at New Jersey on Friday night.Sabres: Play at Washington on Friday night.
