Jack to the rescue.

The Buffalo Sabres rallied to stun the Nashville Predators on Tuesday night, scoring two goals in the final 5:50 of regulation to knot the game at 4-4 and send it to overtime.

Forward Jack Eichel put the team on his back in the extra frame, collecting the puck in his own zone before cutting through the Predators' defense and rifling a shot over the glove of Juuse Saros.

The goal was his second of the game, giving him 12 goals and 21 points in 26 games.
