Buffalo, who started the season on a record losing streak, again managed to score points after tonight’s game against the New York Rangers. But additional time and sentencing were required.
– I like what I saw tonight, says Buffalo coach Don Granato.
Buffalo is off to a good start to the season. 18 losses in a row before the first win of the season over Philadelphia the night before Maundy Thursday. Then another loss to the Rangers last night.
– We were disappointed the other day, we did not meet our own expectations. We talk about it later and lift some things, says interim manager Don Granato.
Olofsson acknowledged
The New York Rangers led tonight’s game 2-1 before the final period. At the end of the third, Victor Olofsson tied and the game went into extra time. However, he was left scoreless and instead decided on the penalty shoot-out.
Linus Ullmark saved 28 shots on Buffalo’s goal during 65 minutes of play and then remained empty in the cage during the penalty shoot-out. The decisive penalty was put by Tage Thompson of Buffalo

“Difficult match for both”
Sanctions were also required to decide the Philadelphia-NY Islanders meeting.
– It was a tough game for both teams, says Islanders coach Barry Trotz.
The New York team led 2-0 before the third period, both goals from Anthony Beauvillier. Ultimately, it was Philadelphia’s Claude Giroux’s turn to score two goals and the draw took the game into a goalless overtime.
– It was a rather strange game, how it developed. But I think we did a good job and stick to the plan. It’s never easy to come back when you lose an advantage, says Beauvillier.
Islanders Mathew Barzal took the decisive penalty in the fourth round.
