The highlight everyone will be talking about from the Buffalo Sabres' 2-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday happened early in the second period.
Ducks rookie forward Trevor Zegras stood behind the Sabres net and picked the puck up on the blade of his stick. He then saw linemate Sonny Milano call for it in front and then flipped the puck over the net. Milano batted it in to open the scoring 5:14 into the middle period.
When asked after the game about coverage in front of the net on the play, Sabres coach Don Granato said he'd rather rewind the tape and focus on the mistakes that happened prior to that particular sequence.
"There were errors before that play that I really didn't like. Up ice in the entry, didn't like it. It should have never got to that point," he said. "There were plays prior to that that were things you could have eliminated before it ever happened."
