NHL roundup: Sabres lose late lead, down Lightning in OT
With Tampa Bay trailing 2-1, Brandon Hagel pushed the puck past Buffalo goalie Devon Levi (21 saves) during a net-front scrum with seven seconds remaining in regulation for his second goal of the night and fourth of the season.
However, it didn't take long for Buffalo to answer via Cozens, who shot a wrister by Tampa Bay's Jonas Johansson (28 saves) for the Sabres' first win in three tries.
Zemgus Girgensons and Jeff Skinner also scored for the Sabres, who outshot the Lightning 31-23 and killed all four Lightning power plays.
Oilers 6, Predators 1
Leon Draisaitl scored twice in a four-point game and Zach Hyman collected one goal and three assists as visiting Edmonton defeated Nashville for their first victory of the season.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored once and collected two assists, while Connor McDavid and Warren Foegele each tallied one goal and one assist for the high-octane Oilers.
Tommy Novak scored the lone goal for the Predators, who have lost two straight games. Goalie Juuse Saros stopped 7 of 11 shots before receiving a mercy pull following the first period. Kevin Lankinen made 17 saves in mop-up duty.
Flyers 2, Canucks 0
Sean Couturier scored his first goal in nearly two years and Egor Zamula also tallied to lift hosts Philadelphia past Vancouver.
Flyers goaltender Carter Hart stopped all 25 shots he faced en route to his sixth career shutout. Couturier converted a penalty shot in the first period. He missed one and a half seasons due to two back surgeries before returning at the start of this campaign.
