Alex Tuch scored a power-play goal with 11 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Buffalo Sabres a 3-2 win against the Boston Bruins at TD Garden in Boston on Monday. Owen Power took a shot from the top of the left circle that hit Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju and Tuch before beating Joonas Korpisalo short side.

While the Buffalo Sabres have been the standard of futility in the National Hockey League for over a decade now, the Bruins, in their current state, are now looking up at their lowly Atlantic Division rivals in terms of offensive talent.

The standings indicate the Bruins are just four points back of the final wild-card slot. But the action on the ice, particularly over the last two games in which they were outscored, 12-5, has shown that the Bruins a long way from being a playoff contender.

The game is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. EDT and will be broadcast on NESN and MSG Sportsnet.
