Sabres' Giant Slays Lightning in Shootout


Three Stars:
1. Tyler Myers
2. Martin St. Louis
3. Vincent Lecavalier


Final Score:
Buffalo Sabres: 3
Tampa Bay Lightning: 2

Goalie Stats
Ryan Miller: SV: 24 SV%: .923 GA: 2
Mike Smith: SV: 30 SV%: .938 GA: 2

Recap Notes: Vincent Lecavalier scored his first goal of the season and Steven Stamkos continued his goal scoring tear, but they were not enough to stop the Buffalo Sabres from rolling to another victory.

Both Ryan Miller and Mike Smith played outstanding, as Mike Smith made me look like a jerk for all the bad things I said about him in the preview.

The Lightning held a 2-1 edge late in the third, but Drew Stafford beat Mike Smith with just 17 seconds left to bring the game to overtime.

Miller and Smith continued their goalie duel late into the shoot out and in round 6 6'8" defenseman Tyler Myers beat Mike Smith for the victory.
