The Buffalo Sabres hold a 1–0 series lead after a dramatic 4–3 win in Game 1, scoring four goals in the final eight minutes to complete the comeback. Tage Thompson led the charge with two goals, while Mattias Samuelsson netted the go-ahead score and Alex Tuch added an empty-netter to seal it.
The Bruins had controlled much of the game early, getting multi-point performances from David Pastrňák and Morgan Geekie, but couldn’t hold the lead late despite 34 saves from Jeremy Swayman.
Game 1 showed just how volatile this series could be. Buffalo, the Atlantic Division champion, is back in the playoffs for the first time since 2011 and proved it can generate offense in bursts, while Boston, the top wild card with 100 points, demonstrated it can control play for long stretches.
Heading into Game 2 in Buffalo, the key question is whether the Bruins can close out games more effectively or if the Sabres’ speed and confidence will carry over. With momentum on their side and home ice still in play, Buffalo has an early edge, but Boston’s experience makes this far from settled.
This is a great NHL matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
