The game started off quickly for both teams tonight. Buffalo was awarded an early power play with an Oilers defenseman shooting the puck over the glass.
However, it was the Oilers that would capitalize first. Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl got free on a 2 on 1. McDavid made a nice pass across and Draisaitl put it by Linus Ullmark for his 41st goal of the season.
Just about a minute later on that same power play, the Sabres responded. Jack Eichel beat his man down the wall and put a shot under the bar to even the game at one.
