The Buffalo Sabres were outplayed for the majority of last night by the Chicago Blackhawks. They were outshot, dominated in possession and out-chanced thoroughly by the home team. However, after all of that, the Sabres were a little over three minutes from stealing two points in Chicago.
The Hawks peppered the Sabres goal in the first period, but Robin Lehner set the tone for what would be a solid night for him. He held Chicago off the board as the Blackhawks played keep away against the Sabres for the majority of the first 20 minutes.
