After a 7-2 beat-down at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers on Monday evening, the Buffalo Sabres (and their fans) were desperate for a win. In a hard-fought battle at the Saddle Dome yesterday, they found themselves back in the win column, holding strong to force overtime and emerge victorious in a very close matchup with the Calgary Flames.
In the waning moments of an exciting, fast-paced first period it appeared that the opening frame would remain scoreless. That was, until Johnny Gaudreau notched his 28th tally of the season on the power-play with just one second remaining on the clock.
