Bowen Byram scored his second goal of the game 31 seconds into overtime and the Buffalo Sabres extended their winning streak to seven games with a 3-2 victory against the host Ottawa Senators on Tuesday.

Byram one-timed a feed from Ryan McLeod from the right circle.

Byram also had an assist, and Noah Ostlund added the other goal for the Sabres. Alex Lyon made 24 saves in the win.

Ridly Greig and Tim Stutzle scored, and Linus Ullmark made 22 saves for the Senators, whose four-game winning streak ended.

Byram gave Buffalo a 1-0 lead at 15:22 of the first period. Josh Dunne collected a loose puck in the right corner and pushed it back to Jordan Greenway, who was right behind him. Greenway took it to above the near circle and then dished a cross-ice feed to Byram, who had jumped up to the back door for the redirect short side.

Greig tied it 1-1 less than two minutes later. The Sabres couldn’t connect on a pass in the offensive zone and Greig gathered the puck in the neutral zone to create a 2-on-1. With Buffalo center Tage Thompson on his trail, he skated with it to the front of the net and buried a backhand glove side on Lyon at 17:13.

Ostlund put the visitors back in front at 6:11 of the second period. Alex Tuch left a puck for Byram by the left wall, where the defenseman collected it and skated down the wall, behind the net and then came out to the top of the right circle. With Ostlund in front in a battle with Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot, Byram then fired a shot that Ostlund tipped past Ullmark glove side.

Stutzle capitalized 14 seconds into a power play to tie it 2-2 at 9:27 of the second. All four Sabres skaters went toward the right wall to battle for the puck, but it was Drake Batherson who came out with it and fed it to Stutzle all alone in the slot for a wrist shot that beat Lyon inside the left post.
