The Buffalo Sabres picked up a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of the second round. With this, the Sabres have a 1-0 series lead and will be looking to expand on it in Game 2.
Sabres forward Josh Doan was one of the main reasons for the team’s win, as he put together a strong performance in Game 2. Doan scored the Sabres’ game-opening goal at the 4:31 mark of the first period and then recorded an assist on Ryan McLeod’s first-period goal that gave Buffalo a 2-0 lead. With this, Doan stepped up in a big way for the Sabres in their Game 1 victory over the Canadiens.
