Stoner Posted January 7, 2007 Report Posted January 7, 2007 January 7, 1973 The Sabres win their 12th straight game at the Aud and extend their unbeaten streak at home to 21 (18-0-3) with a 2-0 shutout of the Flyers. Dave Dryden makes 35 saves for his second shutout of the season, and Jim Lorentz and Rick Martin provide the goals. To this point, Buffalo had not lost at home during the entire 1972-73 season -- a season which saw the Sabres make the playoffs for the first time. January 7, 1983 At the Aud, Phil Housley scores with three seconds left in the third period to tie the Vancouver Canucks at 5. Fresh out of high school, the flashy offensive defenseman wows Sabres' fans in his first season. The kid almost immediately dubbed "Wowie Housley" by Rick Jeanneret finishes third in team scoring with 19 goals and 47 assists, behind Gilbert Perreault and Tony McKegney. Housley and the Sabres would sweep Montreal in the first round of the playoffs but then lose to the Bruins in a heartbreaking seventh game overtime at Boston Garden.
