Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres and NHL
Digest more
The Buffalo Sabres have to wait until Sunday night to play their first postseason game in 15 years, and although the Sabres won the Atlantic Division and will be at home in front of an excited crowd at KeyBank Center, they will face a significant challenge ...
The Bruins went on to win that game 3-1, with Swayman making saves on 21 of the 22 pucks he saw. Boston and Buffalo met three other times in the regular season. The Bruins took the season series 3-1, with backup goalie Joonas Korpisalo getting the start in each of the other three games.
The Buffalo Sabres will begin their first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Sunday against the Boston Bruins. And they’ll be without one of their centers.
