What We Learned<\/p>\n
Here are key takeaways from Wednesday:<\/p>\n
Sabres could be powering up<\/p>\n
The Buffalo Sabres had one goal in 24 power-play attempts against the Boston Bruins in the first round. They had two in three attempts in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Second Round against the Montreal Canadiens, a 4-2 win at KeyBank Center. So, is it time to stop asking about the ineffectiveness of the power play? Please don\u2019t, said forward Ryan McLeod<\/a>, who scored the first of the two extra-man goals. Defenseman Bowen Byram<\/a>\u00a0had the other. \u201cI mean, maybe keep asking if we’re going to keep scoring now,\u201d McLeod said, laughing. \u201cSo, yeah, I think we’re working on it every day. And sometimes they go in, sometimes they don’t. But it’s a process of building it and getting your looks. For the playoffs, the Sabres are at 11.1 percent, nothing to write home about. But Wednesday, they were at 66 percent, a more palatable number. \u201cOne series is over, on to the next, and we have two in this series already, so it\u2019s going well,\u201d forward Josh Doan<\/a>\u00a0said. — Shawn P.
