‘That’s as close as Montreal would get the rest of the night, as the Sabres scored three unanswered goals in the final two periods. Their first goal came when Cody Eakin took a Vinnie Hinostroza pass just outside the crease. It was an easy shot, and the Sabres led 2-1. Later in the second, Buffalo took a 3-1 lead while on the penalty kill. A puck bounced off the skate of a Montreal player, that allowed Eakin and Kyle Okposo to go on an odd-man rush to the other end. Okposo’s first shot didn’t go, but his rebound attempt scored, and it was now 3-1.’
