Jack Quinn had a goal and two assists, Colten Ellis stopped 27 shots in his NHL debut and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Wednesday night.
Claimed off waivers from St. Lous earlier this month, Ellis stopped two breakaways and withstood a flurry of shots after Detroit pulled goalie John Gibson with about three minutes left.
Buffalo's Tyson Kozak scored for the second straight game and Jason Zucker had a goal before leaving in the second period with an upper-body injury. Josh Doan also scored for the Sabres.
