Minus - 1 | A Rough Start
The Sabres were lagging from the get-go on Saturday afternoon; they certainly didn’t show up ready to play, as evidenced by the fact that Buffalo put only six shots on goal in the opening period. Pittsburgh really dominated early on, and they finally capitalized with McCann’s goal opening the scoring midway through the frame.
