Adam Lowry scored 3:59 into overtime to end the Winnipeg Jets' four-game losing streak in a 3-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Thursday night.

Gabriel Vilardi and Kyle Connor also scored for Winnipeg, and Connor Hellebuyck made 28 saves. The Jets' losing streak was their longest this season, and Winnipeg is 4-7-0 after starting the season 15-1-0.

Tage Thompson and Dylan Cozens scored for the Sabres, who are winless in their past five games (0-3-2). Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen also made 28 saves.

Lowry's winning goal came on a rebound from defenseman Josh Morrissey's shot that slid to the left of Luukkonen in the crease.

Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff became the fourth coach to reach the 1,800-game mark behind the bench joining Barry Trotz, Paul Maurice and Scotty Bowman.
