Georgiev smoked early in OT
Sabres 4 – Penguins 5 (OT) (G) Lyon allowed two goals on 13 SOG over the first two periods of play for an .846 save percentage then was relieved by (G) Georgiev for the third period, who let in three goals in 20 minutes and nine seconds for a dismal .824 save percentage and the early overtime loss.
We are not going to make the playoffs this season with these two goaltenders; the obvious solution is (G) Levi who is sitting on the nest in Rochester.
And after contributing to the Americans playing in the Calder Cup Finals last season, I would have thought (G) Levi would have been given more than two periods of preseason play.
The first goal last night against the Sabres should not have counted, blatant contact initiated by the Pittsburgh player, the announcers also said as much, as the Penguin player leaned into the Sabres defenseman to create contact before colliding with (G) Lyon into the net along with the puck.
The referees called it the opposite stating that Buffalo’s player initiated the contact that led to the collision, and it took quite a few minutes before the announcement of a “good goal” and PPG’s goal horn sounded for the home fans.
And that wraps up this season’s training camp and preseason contests as the Buffalo Sabres ready themselves for their upcoming 2025/26 NHL regular season beginning at home versus the Rangers Thursday night 7pm the 9th of October.
The NHL will begin their regular season after today’s 11 final preseason contests on October 7th with three games that includes the defending two-time Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers.

I read a Buffalo Sabres fan say he would love to see Buffalo claim G Michael DiPietro and send Georgiev packing.
