After a tough loss at home that would have closed out the series, the Sabres ended it in Friday's Game 6, with a decisive 4-1 win over the Bruins at TD Garden in Boston, the franchise's first playoff series win since 2007.
Alex Tuch scored just 3:25 into the first period and Matthias Samuelsson doubled the advantage nine minutes later. David Pastrnak got it to within one in the second period, but the series-winning goal was scored by Zach Benson at 5:53 of the third period off a turnover and determined forecheck by Josh Doan:
My take: A fitting way to score the game-winner for this Sabres club — tough, fast, skilled. A team no one wants to play. They get the winner of Canadiens-Lightning.
