It may feel like an overdue honor to some, but tonight Rob “Rayzor” Ray for his years of dedication to the Buffalo Sabres on and off the ice was inducted into the team’s hall of fame.

Jiri Kulich scored the go-ahead goal with 2:04 in the third period and the Buffalo Sabres held on for a 4-3 win over the Nashville Predators on Friday night in KeyBank Center.

Kulich scored at 17:56 to give the Sabres a 4-3 lead. He raced down the left side, received Tage Thompson’s feed from the right point and ripped his second goal of the night – and 11th of the season – between Annunen and the near-side post.
