Sabres make it more interesting as they win their first on home ice. a few lineup changes in this one, Konopka gets into his first game and centres the 3rd line- his linemates Bailey and Gagner combine on the 1st goal. the new 4th line- Lombardi, Stajan and Dorsett had a tough night though, so possibly Colby Armstrong will draw back in there
The powerplay saved this one late in the game for Buffalo:
4. Buffalo Sabres , Thomas Vanek 2 (Alexander Steen, Jordan Leopold) at 15:54 (PP)
5. Buffalo Sabres , Thomas Vanek 3 (Jason Pominville, Alexander Steen) at 17:32 (PP)
Despite Vanek's heroics, Rick Nash was named the first star
