Another unfortunate night in Pittsburgh for the Buffalo Sabres. We watched the same game we’ve seen unfold between the Penguins and Sabres over the last few years.
As per usual, the Sabres started out of the gate hot. They go five 2 on 1 odd man rushes in the first period. They capitalized on one of them as Jack Eichel fed Evander Kane for his tenth of the season. Later in the period, Sam Reinhart would increase the lead with a power-play goal he put past Matt Murray off the back wall.
