Miller Out-Duels Turco As Stars Fall To Sabres

Buffalo, NY, United States (AHN) – Thomas Vanek broke a second-period tie, and Buffalo’s Ryan Miller outdueled Dallas’ Marty Turco in the Sabres 5-3 win over the Stars on Wednesday.

The Stars (29-25-12) lost for the fifth-straight time to the Sabres, and squandered an opportunity to make up ground in the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
