‘After no scoring in the first and plenty of chances on the power play, Buffalo finally got on the board with the man advantage. Thomas Vanek deflected a point shot from Dmitri Kalinin to give the Sabres a 1-0 lead with just under six minutes remaining in the second period. Just two minutes later Adam Mair set up Ales Kotalik on a break snapping it past Henrik Lundqvist. Buffalo would score its third goal in just 4:05 as Thomas Vanek patiently cruised in front of the net and scored his second of the night to make it 3-0.’
