Lyon Solid in Net
Sabres 5 – Red Wings 2 Born in Buffalo, Won Cups in Chicago, and now lights the lamp for Detroit, (RW) Patrick Kane put the Red Wings on the board with less than 90 seconds remaining in the first period to get Detroit within one of Buffalo 2-1 before heading into the locker room.

The Sabres hustled and played well all night, out blocking, out hitting, and outscoring the Red Wings while getting good goaltending from newcomer (G) Lyon versus his former team that gives him a solid look for backing up (G) Levi on opening night.

The Sabres preseason continues Wednesday October 1st as Buffalo hosts Pittsburgh first in their home and home series with the Penguins who then host the Sabres Friday night October 3rd for Buffalo’s final preseason contest.
