DETROIT -- Mattias Samuelsson scored at 1:05 of overtime, and the Buffalo Sabres ended a five-game losing streak by rallying for a 5-4 win against the Detroit Red Wings at Little Caesars Arena on Saturday.

Samuelsson took a pass from Tage Thompson and beat John Gibson from the high slot for the Sabres, who trailed 4-1 in the second period but came back for their first road win of the season.

Josh Doan and Thompson each had a goal and an assist, and Alex Tuch and Ryan McLeod scored for Buffalo (6-8-4), which ended an 0-4-1 skid. Colten Ellis made 24 saves and picked up his first NHL point with a third-period assist.

Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin had two assists in his return after missing three games; he was in Sweden to be with his wife as she recovers from a heart transplant.
