BUFFALO, N.Y. — Matt Murray made 25 saves in his first NHL start in nearly 21 months, and the Maple Leafs defeated Buffalo 6-3 to extend the Sabres' skid to 0-9-3. Third-liners Max Domi, Bobby McMann and Nicholas Robertson had a goal and assist each, and the Atlantic Division-leading Maple Leafs won their fifth in six outings. Auston Matthews, Max Pacioretty and William Nylander also scored. Murray started after being recalled from the minors earlier in the day, and with Anthony Stolarz set to miss four to six weeks after having knee surgery. Buffalo's JJ Peterka, Mattias Samuelsson and Owen Power had a goal and assist each.
