Peterka’s Career-Best Performance Leads Sabres to Comeback Win in Los Angeles

The Sabres began their three-game road trip in California with a 4-2 loss to Anaheim. In their next game against the Los Angeles Kings, they found themselves trailing 3-1 in the first period. Despite this, there was a noticeable shift in attitude on the bench, with a sense of determination and frustration from the previous game lingering among the players.

Reflecting on the previous game, Peterka noted that the team was dissatisfied with their performance and expressed a belief that they could perform at a higher level. This mindset spurred the Sabres to mount a comeback against the Kings, ultimately securing a 5-3 victory. Peterka played a significant role in the win, contributing two goals and an assist, marking his first career two-goal game and three-point game.

Peterka’s speed also had an impact on the game, drawing three penalties and further aiding the team’s efforts. This victory served as a testament to the team’s resilience and potential for improvement following their previous setback in Anaheim.
