The Buffalo Sabres got off to a quick start early in the game. Less than seven minutes in they took the lead. Zach Bogosian found a streaking Johan Larsson with a nice cross-ice pass. Larsson fired it by Jake Allen for his sixth of the season.
In typical Sabres fashion, the Blues tied things up just a few minutes later. Pat Maroon was allowed to skate freely through the Sabres defensive zone and he got out front with ease to beat Carter Hutton.
The Sabres goaltender made a few nice saves after the goal on a push from the Blues.
