The Sabres did something they haven’t done in their last six games in Colorado. Won a game. They also were able to score four goals and put in a pretty good effort on the road.
In the first period, both teams exchanged some chances. Former Sabres prospect J.T. Compher was alone in front and shot the puck wide on a great chance early in the period. Benoit Pouliot put one off the iron on a nice rush and Rasmus Ristolainen did as well in the first few minutes of the game.
