The Buffalo Sabres have won their first game of the 2015-16 season, and it came against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Led by a defense that played very well, and a power play that lit up the scoreboard for 4 goals, the Sabres did everything that they needed to in order to walk away with a victory today. The eventual game winner came at the hand of Jack Eichel and his incredible effort to make it happen.
Through the first period, the game was a steady showing of offensive and defensive pressure that felt like a stalemate.
