The Vancouver Canucks bounced back on the second night of a back-to-back.

Derek Dorsett had two goals and an assist in the CanucksB次元官网网址� 4-2 comeback victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night.

Daniel Sedin and Markus Granlund also scored to help the Canucks improve to 2-1-0 on a five-game trip. Brandon Sutter had two assists, and Jacob Markstrom made 15 saves.

Vancouver gave up four power-play goals Thursday night in a 6-3 loss in Boston, but didnB次元官网网址檛 allow any to Buffalo in three chances.

B次元官网网址淥ur penalty kill let us down last night and today our penalty kill bounced back and did a pretty good job,B次元官网网址� Dorsett said. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檒l take points as we can get B次元官网网址榚m.B次元官网网址�

The Canucks came back from one-goal deficits twice in the first two periods.

B次元官网网址淚t was a real good hockey game by our group,B次元官网网址� Canucks coach Travis Green said. B次元官网网址淎fter playing a tough game last night, the way we responded tonight, I was real happy for our team.B次元官网网址�

Jack Eichel and Justin Bailey scored for Buffalo, and Chad Johnson stopped 37 shots. At 1-5-2, the Sabres are off to their worst start since going 1-7-0 in 2014-15.

Sedin gave the Canucks their first lead of the game 8:10 into the second period. Johnson saved SedinB次元官网网址檚 wrist shot from the left circle, but Sedin poked the rebound between the goaltenderB次元官网网址檚 pads.

Buffalo challenged that Jake Virtanen was offside on the goal. After reviewing replays, officials determined that Virtanen had possession and control of the puck as he entered the attacking zone ahead of the puck.

B次元官网网址淚 disagree with the call, totally,B次元官网网址� Sabres coach Phil Housley said. B次元官网网址淚n my opinion, he knocks the puck out of the air. He never had possession. If you call that possession, then as IB次元官网网址檝e been in the league, itB次元官网网址檚 a different answer or explanation that they give me. I call it 10 out of 10 times offside.B次元官网网址�

Virtanen said he thought he had control of the puck but didnB次元官网网址檛 know if the officials would make the same determination.

B次元官网网址淭hose are ones youB次元官网网址檙e not really sure about,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淏ut it definitely felt good to get that one.B次元官网网址�

DorsettB次元官网网址檚 short-handed goal tied it 5:52 into the second period. SutterB次元官网网址檚 shot from the right circle bounced off JohnsonB次元官网网址檚 pad to the left slot where Dorsett one-timed it in. Dorsett scored his fourth of the season into an empty net with 21.7 seconds remaining.

The Sabres opened the scoring in the opening minute when Ryan OB次元官网网址橰eilly sent a backhand pass from the corner to Bailey in the slot. Bailey moved from right to left and slipped a backhander past Markstrom.

Granlund knocked in the rebound from SutterB次元官网网址檚 shot to tie it for Vancouver midway through the first period.

Eichel scored his third of the season to make it 2-1 with 2:40 left in the first. The star centre flipped the puck between the skates of Canucks defenceman Ben Hutton and sent a wrist shot from the right circle between MarkstromB次元官网网址檚 pads.

NOTES: Canucks D Erik Gudbranson served a one-game suspension for hitting BostonB次元官网网址檚 Frank Vatrano from behind Thursday night. The Sabres scratched F Zemgus Girgensons (lower-body) and D Josh Gorges (lower-body). Johnson made his third consecutive start in place of G Robin Lehner (illness). Okposo played in his 600th NHL game. He assisted on BaileyB次元官网网址檚 goal for his first point of the season. The Sabres have allowed six shorthanded goals through the first eight games.
