‘The Sabres were not the same team after Pominville’s injury, and that proved the difference. Crawford was shaky right from the get-go, but was able to steady himself as the game went on and eventually get the victory. Chicago outshot the Sabres 17-10 in the second period, with many of Buffalo’s coming late in the period. Don’t forget, these two teams meet up again on Saturday in the Windy City.’
