Robertson put the Stars ahead 2-1 at 2:35 of the third period, intercepting Jack Quinn’s clearing attempt and beating Luukkonen stick side from the right hashmarks.

Rasmus Dahlin kept Buffalo’s deficit at one a couple minutes later, sweeping a puck that got behind Luukkonen off the goal line and out of the crease.

Both goaltenders were sharp.

DeSmith closed his pads on Jiri Kulich’s backhander from the right circle before stopping Zach Benson’s chance on the rebound just over three minutes into the first period.

Later in the frame, Luukkonen got his blocker on Jamie Benn’s snap shot from the slot.

In the second period, Luukkonen came across the goal to deny Logan Stankoven’s one-timer from the slot.

Benson came within inches of getting the Sabres on the board when he slid the puck past an outstretched DeSmith on a two-on-one, but Nils Lundkvist was in the crease to clear it.
