MINNEAPOLIS -- Kyle Gibson matched a career high with eight strikeouts, Chris Parmelee hit a two-run single after entering the game for an injured Joe Mauer, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-3 on Tuesday night. Trevor Plouffe added four singles and Aaron Hicks two hits and an RBI for the Twins. After getting hit in the right elbow by Andrew Chafin (0-1) in the first inning, Mauer played defence in the second before coming out with a bruised elbow. The Twins say he is day to day. Parmelee hit in Mauers spot and singled down the left-field line to drive in Hicks and Eduardo Escobar, giving Minnesota a 3-0 lead in the second. That was plenty of support for Gibson (13-11), who allowed one run in seven innings and won for just the second time in his last eight starts. Chafin gave up four runs on seven hits and was removed after the first two batters he faced in the fourth reached base. Ender Inciarte lined his fourth single of the game to score Cody Ross and make it 6-3 in the ninth before Jared Burton got A.J. Pollack to ground out with runners on first and second to end it.

Montreal was well rested for Fridays opener in Buffalo, having had four days of rest after losing 5-0 to the New York Rangers on Sunday. However, the Sabres were able to halt a six-game slide against the Canadiens by posting a 2-1 regulation victory at First Niagara Centre. Matt Moulson played the hero for Buffalo, scoring the game-winning goal with 1:18 left in the third period. It was the fourth goal of the season for Moulson and his first game-winning tally. Montreal tied the game at 1-1 early in the third, but Buffalo was able to go on top thanks to a fortunate bounce while on a power play. Tyler Ennis had dumped the puck into the Montreal end off the glass and Habs goaltender Carey Price went behind the net to play it. However, it hit off a stanchion and bounced out front where Moulson had an open net for the game-winner. He had a number of chances to score throughout the game, Sabres coach TTed Nolan said.dddddddddddd For him to get two or three chances and to get one like that was probably fitting. Ennis had the other goal for the Sabres and Jhonas Enroth made 30 saves for the win. It was the fourth victory in the last five games for Buffalo, which is suddenly surging after beginning 2014-15 with a dreadful 3-13-2 record. P.A. Parenteau had the only goal for the Canadiens, who fell for the third time in five games. Price allowed both goals on 25 shots. I think there are some good things to build off of, Montreals Max Pacioretty said. We have to do a better job of finding ways to score goals. The Canadiens, who lead the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference with 33 points, have managed only a total of three goals over the last three games. Montreals only three-game slide this season came during an 0-2-1 stretch from Oct. 30-Nov. 4. Fridays setback was the Habs first loss against Buffalo since a 2-1 defeat in Montreal on March 23, 2013. The Habs have claimed two straight encounters at the Bell Centre and are 3-1-1 in their last five home tilts versus Buffalo. ' ' '
