Buffalo shut down and shut out Los Angeles
Sabres 1 – Kings 0 Buffalo and LA both won on each other’s ice for a split in their season series, in last night’s effort the Sabres (UPL & RW Tuch return from injury) penalty killers prevented success during five Kings’ power plays.
The Referees for the game, R Hamilton who is an experienced AHL referee under an NHL contract and rookie R Hanson who has only officiated five NHL games total.
These referees whistled five penalties from the 4:34 mark of the second period until halfway through the third period in a tight low scoring game giving the Kings at home four power plays to the Sabres one chance (overall, the Kings had 5 PP to the Sabres 3).
A hard-fought road victory to get the Sabres back to 500% in the standings playing 5-5-0 in their last ten games earning a positive goal differential as well, the three game West Coast trip continues 10 o’clock Friday night in Anaheim.

Congratulations on shutting out the LA Kings and turning things around reaching 500%. A shut out is always wonderful for the goalie (and his stats lol).
Rebecca and I watched much of the third period in that game and we were especially impressed with your defense in the last few minutes when (if I recall correctly now) the Kings had possession the whole time.
