Jason Zucker had two goals and an assist for the Sabres, who are winless in seven straight games (0-5-2). James Reimer made 26 saves in his first start since Nov. 30. Zach Benson, Tage Thompson and Nicolas Aube-Kubel scored for the Sabres.
Takeaways
Sabres: Thompson, who returned from injury on Nov. 27, scored his 15th goal of the season, putting him among the top 10 in the NHL. He has four goals in his last four games.
Red Wings: Detroit ended its losing streak with its first multi-goal third-period comeback of the season. The Red Wings accomplished that feat three times last season.
Key moment
Sabres forward Ryan McLeod’s breakaway attempt at 2:57 of overtime had Cossa beat, but went off the post.
