Ottawa Surprises Buffalo

Sabres split series with Senators

Buffalo 2 – Ottawa 6 One horrendous period and Buffalo drops the first of a five game home stand against a unanticipated Senators team that scored too many times on too little shots.

There were three goals scored on just four shots in the first four minutes with the fourth goal being too much at the 11:11 mark of the first, and Mr. Luukkonen was given a rest.

**Speaking belligerently following your fifth goal is not captain like**

Mr. Levi came in relief stopping 10 out of 11 shots to finish the first period and shutout the Senators in the second and third periods earning a .969 save percentage stopping 31 of 32 Ottawa shots.

After HC Granato had a locker room discussion the boys came out and scored in the first three minutes of the second period after a huge rebound flew out from a booming Mr. Tuch shot to almost the top of the faceoff circle where JJ Peterka scored.

Far Out Rebound

Ottawa right wing Mr. Joseph 0G, 0A, 3SOG, -1, in 12 minutes of play, was able to cross check JJ Peterka in the back after his shot went in and that got the Sabres on the board during a 0-5 game, distasteful play that should warrant a penalty.

Sabres defenseman Mr. Clifton scored a beauty for Buffalo’s second goal as he skated with the puck into Ottawa’s zone he showered snow as he stopped abruptly as all the other players skated hard towards the net.

Buffalo’s defenseman then proceeded towards the middle of the ice and using Mr. Tuch as a screen Mr. Clifton then released a shot right down Main Street and into the net for the Sabres second goal.
