‘Buffalo finally solved Howard with 7:24 remaining in regulation, and the Red Wings’ goaltender played a big role in losing his shutout bid. Howard went behind the net to play the puck and attempted to shoot it around the boards, but Sabres forward Brian Flynn managed to get a piece of the clearing attempt. The puck went right in front, where Girgensons backhanded it into an open net to make it a one-goal game.’
