At the Horn | Kings 3 - Sabres 1 | Buffalo Sabres

Both teams came out of the first period scoreless despite the Sabres generating a 14-4 shot advantage. Zach Benson scored as the final horn sounded, but the call on the ice was overturned when a video review determined the puck crossed had crossed the line after the clock hit zero. Ryan McLeod had two of the Sabres' best looks during a penalty kill midway through the period. Kuemper lunged to his right and robbed him McLeod a wrap-around attempt, then stopped him on a penalty shot less than 30 seconds later.
