Sabres Corner: Buffalo Blanks Ovie, Caps 0
Buffalo (16-9-2) vs. Washington (19-5-6)
It looked like a no-brainer. The Caps were easily the favored team against the Sabres. With Buffalo scoring one goal in their past two games, Washington looked like the best bet in this one.
The Capitals came into the game first in points, goals, and power play percentage.
Wednesday night, Ryan Miller and the Buffalo Sabres showed up to play.
Steve Montador led the scoring with his second of the season, giving Buffalo the early lead.
Just called up from Portland, Nathan Gerbe collected a goal and an assist on the night. Gerbe was extremly upset that he did not make the team at the start of the season. In his first game this season, he showed Lindy Ruff why he should be on the team.
