In a recent hockey game, Buffalo Sabres' Jordan Greenway scored a goal at 2:27 into the game for a 1-0 lead against the Toronto Maple Leafs, with a shot that Ilya Samsonov failed to stop. The Sabres dominated early, leading 6-0 in shots. Auston Matthews responded for the Leafs, tying the game 1-1 with his 26th goal of the season on the Leafs' second shot. Both teams had power play chances, with the Leafs briefly gaining a 5-on-3 advantage after a high-sticking penalty on the Sabres' Jack Quinn.

The Sabres definitely missed Jordan Greenway. He's shown when healthy that he's a solid player and perfect fit for this team.

Welcome back, Jordan Greenway. Sends a shot on net from above the left circle and into the net it goes. 1-0 Sabres
Jordan Greenway out of nowhere with a shot and Samsonov didn't seem to be ready for it either -- Sabres snag the lead. Play started up ice with Greenway flattening Nick Robertson in the defensive zone and he gets rewarded with the goal.
