Plus-1: First Period Strength
Honestly... after sleeping on it, it’s really hard to find the right words to describe Wednesday night’s Sabres game. It was just an unreal performance, including possibly the best period in franchise history in the opening frame. Per Jonah Bronstein, the Sabres’ six-goal output matched the franchise record, set in October 1992 and last executed in December 2006.
