The Ducks were looking to rebound from a rather ugly game against the Colorado Avalanche against a winless Buffalo Sabres team. Unfortunately, they once again struggled to find the back of the net, and Buffalo was able to put their first W for the 2017-2018 season. Here is a period-by-period breakdown of how it all happened.
1st Period:
The 1st period started and.... oh... the Sabres are already winning. John Gibson, returning to the lineup after missing the last two periods of the Colorado game, fumbled a rebound, which was then shoveled in by Justin Bailey for his 1st goal of the season.
