Sabres Silence Knights

Gold Medalists Honored

**There were hugs and smiles until the game was underway**

Sabres 3 – Knights 2 Buffalo is now 26-4-1 when scoring the game’s first goal, and Buffalo (LW) Zucker scored his 16th of the year to put the Sabres ahead 1-0 four minutes into the first period, Sabres (D) Power scored just 46 seconds into the second period and five minutes after that Sabres Gold Medalist (C) Thompson scored his 33rd or the season giving Buffalo the 3-0 lead with 14 minutes remaining in the second period when all of a sudden the Knights score twice in approximately two minutes climbing within one goal of Buffalo.

But all for naught, as Buffalo held sin city to 6 SOG during the third period and Sabres (G) Lyon rebuked the Knights half a dozen SOG to preserve the first win in the two game regular season series between these two teams which resumes March 17th in Nevada for game two.
