The Sabres controlled this game from start to finish. It got a little dicey for about two minutes in the third period when the Leafs tied the game, but the Sabres scored three goals in less than two minutes after that. They set the tone early in the first period by throwing 30 shot attempts towards the Toronto net and had a 2.2 expected goals for rating at 5 on 5. They’ve averaged a 1.55 xGF per game this season.
