Sabres, Golden Knights, Canadiens Face Do-or-Die Game 6 Showdowns: Who Will Survive the First-Round Gauntlet?
Then again, Buffalo’s lineup didn’t have a lot of experience, with just 10 players having previously appeared in an outing with a chance to eliminate an opponent.
“We trusted the process to get to this point,” Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff said. “You’ve got to continue to trust it. It’s a team (that for) a whole year has won together and lost together, but embrace this moment — and somebody for us is going to be a big time player. I can’t tell you who that is, but somebody will.”
Buffalo’s power play continues to sputter: Rasmus Dahlin’s goal in Game 5 was the Sabres’ first with the man advantage in 18 opportunities this series. Buffalo enters Game 6 having converted one of 20 power-play chances against Boston after going 0-for-22 to close the regular season.
