Sabres Win First Playoff Game

Mattias Samuelson scored the tie-breaking goal with just over three minutes remaining, capping off a remarkable offensive surge.

Tage Thompson also netted two goals in quick succession to erase a 2-0 deficit and ignite the home crowd.

The victory marks a significant milestone for a franchise that has long struggled to reach the postseason.

The Bruins will look to regroup for Game 2 after failing to close out a game they largely controlled for two periods.
