Minus 1: The Post Heard ‘Round the Rink
Down 2-0 early in the first period, the Sabres drew a penalty to go up a man. Dahlin spun the Penguin killer into oblivion at the blue line and walked in uncontested right off the draw. He wound up and beat Casey DeSmith…but couldn’t beat the post. This wasn’t the only time in the first period Buffalo would be denied by some iron.
