BUFFALO, N.Y. — Steven Stamkos’ first goal of the season is out of the way, thanks to a crafty play by Ryan Callahan.
Callahan banked a pass off the side of the Buffalo Sabres’ net. The puck came to Stamkos, who left no doubt with a snap shot that helped ensure Tampa Bay’s 4-1 victory Saturday.
“First period we had the same exact play,” Callahan said. “Tried to go through a couple guys and ended up getting picked off. I end up getting the same play and it worked out.”
Stamkos said Callahan called his shot earlier in the period.
