The Buffalo Sabres move to 4-0-1 after a defensive fight with the Florida Panthers.
The Sabres were tested like they hadn’t been yet on Friday night. The Florida Panthers came into the game with a solid plan to thwart Ralph Krueger‘s offense. But much like they have all season, the Buffalo Sabres found a way to get another win over a quality opponent.
In the first period the Sabres came out initially looking rough. Florida was able to keep the puck in Buffalo’s zone. Florida also played a very physical brand of defense right out of the gate that seemed to give Buffalo problems.
