All that dominance in the first period only resulted in one goal. Well talk about regress to the mean! The Sabres had a bit more jump in the second period, but the Habs are now up 4-0.

Lars Eller set up David Desharnais for his first goal of the season, then scored his own goal 28 seconds later off of a beautiful play by Alex Galchenyuk.

Galchenyuk now has 7 points in 7 games this season by the way. Calder?
