Ducks' Terry scores in OT to end Sabres' road winning streak

The play developed rapidly as Thompson attempted to maintain pressure in the offensive zone, but the puck trickled past his defensive coverage. Terry, displaying veteran poise, read the situation perfectly and accelerated toward the Buffalo net. With his teammate providing support, he chose to navigate the breakaway himself, eventually lifting a precise backhanded shot past the goaltender to seal the emotional home victory.

Granlund tied the game at five with 1:44 remaining in the third period on a power play with Ville Husso pulled for an extra attacker. The decision to empty the net reflected the desperation and strategic urgency of the Ducks' coaching staff, who clearly identified that a regulation tie was insufficient given their current push for improved positioning in the standings.
