1 day ago3 takeaways from Leafs-Sabres: Woll steals a point, Domi scores in 800th NHL game
Joseph Woll made 30 saves to secure a point for the Maple Leafs despite their loss to Buffalo in overtime.
Bednarik, held to one assist through four games, had been playing as the USA's 13th forward, but was promoted to fourth-line center. He'd earn the primary assist on the opening goal of the game, finding his BU teammate Cole Hutson trailing the play and giving the US a 1-0 lead. After Finland knotted the game up one, Eiserman did what he does best - excel on the power play. Hutson found Eiserman in his office near the right circle, firing a one-timer past the Finnish netminder to restore the one-goal lead.
The opening period featured strong goaltending from both Sergei Bobrovksy and Juuse Saros, and it was a big Bob stop on Matthew Wood that lead to Florida's only goal at 16:26. After denying Wood on a short track breakaway, Bobrovsky sweep the puck to the left side and A.J. Greer sent Sam Bennett and Carter Verhaeghe away on a 2-on-1 rush. Bennett threaded a pass through the legs of defenseman Nicolas Hague and Verhaeghe easily finished with Saros going the wrong way.
Cal's dreams of early bowl eligibility and perhaps a special season took a major hit Friday night in a 42-34 double-overtime loss at Virginia Tech's sold-out Lane Stadium. Here's how things unfolded in overtime: - Cal scored on one play when Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele fired a 25-yard touchdown strike to tight end Mason Mini. - Virginia Tech answered with quarterback Kyron Drones running it from 17 yards on second-and-2, tying the score at 34-all.
