LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen made 23 saves, Jason Zucker scored the game's only goal, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 on Wednesday night. Luukkonen stopped six shots in the first period, six in the second and 12 in the third to get his first shutout of the season in his return after being sidelined for two games because of a lower-body injury. The Sabres have won five of seven. With the game scoreless after two periods, Zucker scored 38 seconds into the third on the power play by redirecting Rasmus Dahlin’s shot. Zucker was unbothered at the top of the crease, and that positioning turned into his fourth goal of the season with the tip of Dahlin’s effort. Dahlin has points on the man-advantage in four straight games, and he extended his point streak overall to seven straight with four goals and six assists in that span. Tage Thompson, who leads Buffalo in goals, missed his third straight game because of a lower-body injury. He had practiced the past two days. Buffalo came into the night 2 for 19 (10.5%) on the power play away from home, which ranked 30th in the NHL. But a 1 for 3 showing was enough to take down Los Angeles. Up Next Sabres visit Anaheim on Friday night.
