"The Bruins played their most dominant period of the season in the opening 20 minutes, outshooting the Sabres 17-2 - it felt like it was even more lopsided - but they managed just a 1-0 lead. The goal came on their 14th shot of the period at 15:48 and for the second time in as many games, it was the second line that gave the B's the first lead of the game."
"Jordan Harris, making his Bruin debut in place of the injured Hampus Lindholm (day-to-day, lower body), moved down from his left point position to gather an Andrew Peeke shot that was off the mark and rimmed around to Harris' side. From the bottom of left circle, Harris made put it on a tee for Pavel Zacha, who ripped home a one-timer from the middle of the left circle for his first of circle."
"If not for Buffalo goalie Alex Lyon, the B's could have have up by two or three goals. They had a couple of active power plays on which Lyon shut the door. David Pastrnak fired the puck eight times and landed it on net five times in the first period. Meanwhile, there was an undercurrent of malevolence coming from the Sabres' Mason Geertsen (6-foot-5, 231 pounds), who got into a couple of jawing matches with 6-foot-7, 255-pound Nikita Zadorov, but nothing came of it."
Boston defeated Buffalo 3-1 when Sean Kuraly tapped in Elias Lindholm's pass into an empty net with 2.2 seconds remaining. The Bruins dominated the first period, outshooting the Sabres 17-2, but led only 1-0 after Pavel Zacha's one-timer set up by Jordan Harris. Jordan Harris made his Bruins debut replacing Hampus Lindholm. Buffalo was missing Josh Norris and Zach Benson, and Alex Lyon kept Buffalo competitive with several timely saves on Boston power plays. David Pastrnak produced multiple first-period shots. Mason Geertsen and Nikita Zadorov exchanged jawing matches but no fights occurred.
