Buffalo Beats Tampa Bay

For the third time this season

Buffalo 4 – Tampa Bay 2  The Sabres finished up their season in spectacular fashion as they earned another road victory over the Lightning to come out on top 3 games to 1 in their four game season series.

Buffalo looked good as they improved their overall road record versus Tampa Bay to a 56% all-time winning percentage.

Mr. Comrie earned the right to start and played his best game of the season as the Lightning launched 16 shots on net during the first period and Mr. Cozens scored his 17^th of the season for the 1-0 lead after the first twenty minutes.

We learned that Mr. Thompson was not returning after the first period due to a lower-body injury, and the team stepped up big time to play the next two periods strong even after Mr. Stamkos scored his 40^th goal of the season.

During Buffalo’s second penalty Mr. Cozens notched his 18^th of the season short-handed (team’s 7^th short-handed) with some strong play from Mr. Greenway as well.

Mr. Skinner’s pipe music was clocked at 90.3 mph as it rang off the iron on the Sabres first power play, and in the midst of outshooting the Lightning 18-7 Mr. Greenway scores his 10^th and Buffalo is up by two goals at the end of the second period.

Lightning goon lilleberg boarded Mr. Benson while he was down on his knees and facing the dasher board, and Tampa Bay was within one goal of Buffalo for all of 15 seconds before Mr. Benson extracted revenge with his 11^th and restored the Sabres two goal lead.

 A nice win all around to finish this season on a high note, next year is going to be a blast as Buffalo marches into the playoffs after a baker’s dozen worth of missed post-seasons.
