In a remarkable display of skill and teamwork, the Buffalo Sabres dominated their game, leading to a significant 5-0 victory. Jacob Bryson, showing exceptional performance, assisted on two goals, marking his first points of the season. His contribution was pivotal in the Sabres' scoring, particularly noted in Zach Benson's goal, which was highlighted as a standout moment. Benson's goal, his fifth of the season and first since December 15, was a testament to his skill, as he managed to score on Rittich while falling down, aided by Bryson's precise feed. This game underscored the Sabres' strength when scoring first, improving their record to 16-3-1 under such circumstances. Conversely, the opposing team's struggle when conceding the first goal was evident, as their record dropped to 6-12-3.
