Plus 1: Strong Start Results In Jankowski Getting His First Goal As A Buffalo Sabre
The Sabres came out the gates ready to play in Nashville. For the majority of the first period they controlled play against one of the hottest teams in the league. Mark Jankowski was rewarded with his first goal of the season after deflecting a shot on net that eventually got knocked into the Predators net by their own defenseman.
