Plus-1: Exciting First Period
An unlucky bounce off of a Hurricanes player proved to be in Buffalo’s favor as they were able to get on the scoreboard just 28 seconds after the opening faceoff. Following that quick goal by Jacob Bryson, the Sabres dominated in puck possession for much of the first period, especially the first half.
