ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Johan Larsson has developed a knack for delivering when the Buffalo Sabres are in need of a goal.Larsson had a third-period score in his return to Minnesota and Robin Lehner made 27 saves, lifting Buffalo to a 2-1 win against the Wild on Tuesday night.A 2010 second-round pick by Minnesota, Larsson has seven game-winning goals among his 18 career tallies, and all seven in 83 games the past two seasons for the Sabres.It just happens, Larsson said. Fortunately, Im out there and a little bit of luck, I guess.Ryan OReilly added his fourth goal for Buffalo, which has won three straight.Larsson scored his second of the season past goaltender Devan Dubnyk with just over six minutes left. Brian Gionta centered a puck that went off the stick of Minnesota forward Mikael Granlund and deflected off the shaft of Larssons stick.The Swedish forward played one career game for the Wild in 2013 before being traded for Jason Pominville.He was a guy who scored a lot for us at the end of last season and did have a knack for getting the big goals and getting the game-winning goal, Sabres coach Dan Bylsma said. Tonight were trying to scratch out some kind of offense in the third period, trying to push forward in this building and get the win. Theres nothing really fancy about him coming up big.Dubnyk stopped 22 shots but had his individual scoreless streak end at 183:16. Granlund scored his second goal for Minnesota, which had won three in a row and was unbeaten in four previous home games.It was frustrating, Wild coach Bruce Boudreau said. Sometimes its a frustrating team. It can play so good one period and not show up for the (next) period. Tonight, we didnt show up in the first period.Dubnyks streak ended just three shots into the game. Dubnyk stopped Rasmus Ristolainens point shot, but OReilly had the rebound deflect off his skate directly to his stick for an easy score.Im a big fan of wins and those shutouts are bonus, Dubnyk said. Its disappointing to have it end on a bounce like that, but a lot of fortunate bounces have to happen to get three in a row. So, well let that one go and get ready for Saturday. Granlund tied it on the games first power play. With Josh Gorges off for slashing and breaking Granlunds stick, Pominville brought the puck into the offensive zone and dumped to Eric Staal.Staals shot bounced to Granlund, who was streaking in. Granlunds speed allowed him to get past a sprawling Lehner for the goal.I thought we came out hard today, Lehner said. They came back and pushed back in the second period, and got some momentum going. But I think we held the fort together and I think thats a very solid third period.Game notesBuffalo D Zach Bogosian didnt play the final two periods and was announced out with a knee injury. ... Minnesotas franchise-record scoreless streak was snapped at 184:59. ... Sabres F Hudson Fasching, a Minnesota native, missed the game with a groin injury. The team recalled Justin Bailey from Rochester of the American Hockey League. ... Staal has a five-game point streak, his longest since Jan. 2014. He has one goal and four assists in that span. ... The road team has won 15 of the 20 games in the series between the two teams, including the past five.UP NEXT:Sabres: Return home against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday.Wild: After three days off, they play Saturday at Colorado.Air Force 1 Outlet .

The judge also ordered the record of the case to be expunged.Im happy the case is resolved, said Familias defense attorney, Paul Brickfield.Balsamo had met with Familias wife, Bianca Rivas, before the hearing Thursday in Fort Lee Municipal Court. Rivas, represented by her own attorney, did not wish for the domestic-violence case to be pursued.The couple arrived at court together, and Rivas met with the prosecutor for five minutes before the court session began.Shes been steadfast that the matter be dismissed, Balsamo told the judge.Familia had been arrested Oct. 31 after allegedly causing a scratch to the chest and a bruise to the right cheek of his wife. The complaint filed at the time stated that Fort Lee officer Tony Pickens found probable cause to believe that domestic violence had occurred.However, Rivas subsequently told authorities that the scratch was caused by their 1-year-old son, and the facial mark was caused by pressing on her own head. Two knives the police found on the floor were not intimidating to her, Rivas added. Rivas told authorities her husband wedged them in a door while barricading himself in a bathroom following an argument.Shes clear that was used by Mr. Mojica to wedge the door closed, Balsamo ttold the judge, using Familias maternal surname.ddddddddddddThe end of the legal case against Familia does not preclude Major League Baseball from suspending the closer, and the Mets issued a statement Thursday saying theyll await the outcome of MLBs investigation. Baseball officials had been waiting for a disposition of the criminal case before considering in earnest whether a suspension is warranted.The fact that the case has been expunged from the record figures to help Familias side.Thatll weigh with the MLB lawyers, said attorney Jay Reisinger, who represents Familia against MLB.MLB recently has imposed serious penalties for domestic-violence incidents, even absent criminal convictions.Jose Reyes received a 52-game suspension to begin 2016 after an incident last offseason in Hawaii involving his wife. The charges against Reyes were dropped after his wife declined to cooperate with prosecutors. As Reyes neared his eligibility to return, the Rockies released him, and he subsequently signed with the Mets.Aroldis Chapman, who re-signed with the Yankees this winter after winning a championship with the Cubs, received a 30-game suspension in March despite never facing criminal charges.A first-time All-Star in 2016, Familia led the majors with 51 saves. That set a franchise record and became the single-season record for a Dominican-born reliever. Familia recorded 52 straight regular-season saves from Aug. 1, 2015, through July 26. ' ' '
