In a thrilling turn of events, the Buffalo Sabres finally seized the lead in their season opener, but it wasn't without a twist of fate! A shot that initially missed its mark became the game-changer.
During a power play in the first period, Jack Quinn unleashed a powerful one-timer from the slot. But here's where it gets interesting: the puck sailed just wide, missing the net, only to bounce off the glass and find its way into the goal off the goalie's back. Talk about a lucky break!
Ottawa's Tim Stutzle quickly responded, tying the game. However, the Sabres weren't done yet. They went on to dominate the Senators with a final score of 8-4, marking their first win of the season. Quinn, the hero of the hour, added another goal in the third period to seal the deal.
The Sabres' journey to this point hasn't been easy. They faced a tough start, losing their first three games and being outscored 10-2. But this victory is a testament to their resilience. And this is the part most fans were waiting for: the Sabres avoided a dreaded 0-4 start, a fate they've never faced before, although they came close in 2017 and 2013.
