The Sabres looked to be angry and rightfully so to start the game tonight. They played one of their better first period of the season dominating the Canadiens 17-7 in shots on goal after 20 minutes.
It appeared the Sabres would go unrewarded for a good period, but Ryan O’Reilly scored on the power play with just six seconds remaining in the period to put his team ahead 1-0 after the first period
Then the game started to go how most have gone this season for the Sabres. As the game went on, Montreal started to assert themselves a little more.
