UPL Shuts Out New York
Buffalo 4 New York 0 The Sabres were dominate in their third consecutive victory as Buffalo prevented New York from getting anywhere near UPL and when they did the Sabres physicality showed up and displaced any Islanders.
At times the Sabres skated in waves together as one unit, the defensive corps adeptly handled exiting the zone and joined the rush when appropriate, and Buffalo allowed only 11 SOG to get through to UPL over the first two periods.
Mr. Greenway was such an effective screen for the Sabres third tally that HC Roy challenged with, “goaltender interference”, and after review showed there was absolutely no contact earning the Islanders a “delay of game” penalty.
Buffalo took their well-earned 3-0 lead into the third period where HC Roy pulled his goaltender at even strength with approximately six minutes remaining in the game contributing to Mr. Benson’s second of the night with an empty net goal.
Buffalo begins their Western Conference road trip this coming Saturday in Detroit, off Sunday for St. Patrick’s Day, then Monday initiates back to back games in Seattle and then the Conference leading Canucks in Vancouver.
