In a fast-paced NHL game in Los Angeles, the Kings took an early lead over the Buffalo Sabres, with the score at 3-1 halfway through the first period. The Sabres' goaltender, Devon Levi, struggled, allowing three goals on seven shots and fighting it. The Sabres faced multiple penalties, including two slashing calls against Thompson at 7:51 and Skinner at 11:19, which contributed to their disadvantage. Despite the same number of shots on goal from both teams at 13-13, Kings' goaltender Talbot outperformed Levi. The Sabres' Alex Tuch missed an opportunity to tie the game during a short-handed 2 on 1, shooting wide. Pierre-Luc Dubois capitalized on a power play for the Kings, scoring at 9:44 under Levi's glove, which further solidified the Kings' lead. The Sabres are expected to reassess their goaltending situation after this game.
Sabres give up another three goal first period and it's 3-1 L.A. Shots were 13-13.
Levi with his best save as Kempe beat the #Sabres down the ice and got in alone from a Byfield pass. Shots are 13-13 in this one. Talbot has simply been better than Levi.
Greenway in discomfort on the bench. Looked like he blocked a shot with his hand... #Sabres getting a power play now on a hooking call against LA's Lewis.
maybe if he didn’t ride the bench for 2 weeks with one ahl game under his belt before this🤷🏻♀️ https://t.co/RXjLX8YDFD
And another penalty. Skinner for slashing at 11:19....Bad to worse for #Sabres
Kings up 3-1 halfway through the first period over the Sabres. Devon Levi is fighting it (3 goals on 7 shots) but really this whole team needs help.
This is certainly going to be the last NHL game Devon Levi is going to play for a while unless something big changes. The #Sabres have to flip him and Comrie after this trip with UPL a clear No. 1 and Comrie doing well in Roch.
Devon Levi wants that one back.
And then Dubois scores at 9:44 on the power play. Burns Levi under the glove. Huge turnaround. Chance for 2-2 tie turns into a 3-1 deficit. https://t.co/VqOrroy7fB
Tuch outworks two guys, goes in on an short-handed 2 on 1. Shoots wide. Just gotta hit the net. #Sabres
Thompson goes for slashing and #Sabres are short-handed at 7:51...
Kings and Sabres are underway!
