The Sabres power play goal produced the game winning goal from a very impressive 19-year-old power forward. Anton Walhberg was hard on a few battles along the wall and found himself behind the net. He quickly came out front and Tyler Tullio’s rebound came right to him for the goal. You might say it was a lucky goal and yes it was, but Wahlberg made his own luck by getting into position right around the net.
The Sabres first-round pick from this past June, Konsta Helenius played his first game and there were some things to like. He wasn’t even close to perfect, but his anticipation was good and he processes the game extremely well for an 18-year-old. I'm sure he had more than a few nerves.
Isak Rosen was not one of the 27 players that earned the right to go to Europe, but honestly he didn’t deserve it. He didn’t dominate the Prospects Challenge like Jiri Kulich did and he didn’t seem to have his head into this game. He had no shots and had a lazy turnover on the power play that led to some shorthanded opportunities. This has to change quickly or the 2021 first-round pick is going to plummet down the depth chart.
