After breaking the longest active playoff drought in the NHL by finishing the season in the Atlantic Division\u2019s top spot, the No. 1 seed Buffalo Sabres opened their first playoff series since 2011 with a big win at home.<\/p>\n
Though the Boston Bruins were up 2-0 going into the final eight minutes of Game 1, Buffalo\u2019s Tage Thompson ended the Sabres\u2019 15-year playoff scoring drought with a goal, before scoring the game-tying goal minutes later. Mattias Samuelsson followed that up with the go-ahead goal to make it 3-2 Buffalo, and Alex Tuch hit the empty net for Buffalo\u2019s insurance goal.<\/p>\n
Boston ended up scoring another in the final eight seconds of the game, but Buffalo took Game 1, 4-3.<\/p>\n
