DALLAS — DALLAS (AP) - Rasmus Dahlin scored a tiebreaking goal in the second period, Linus Ullmark made 28 saves and the Buffalo Sabres beat the Dallas Stars 4-1.

Jimmy Vesey scored a first-period goal for Buffalo, and Michael Frolik and Zemgus Girgensons added empty-net goals. Jamie Benn scored the Stars’ goal in the second period. Bishop stopped 18 shots.
