LOS ANGELES — Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stopped 24 shots, Jason Zucker scored the game's only goal, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0. Luukkonen had six saves in the first period, six in the second and 12 in the third to get his first shutout of the season in his return after being sidelined for two games because of a lower-body injury. The Sabres have won five of seven. David Rittich made 18 saves for Los Angeles, which has lost three of four. With the game scoreless after two periods, Zucker scored 38 seconds into the third on the power play by redirecting Rasmus Dahlin's shot past Rittich.
