Steven Stamkos scored his first goal of the season after little help from Ryan Callahan. Callahan banked a pass off the side of the Sabres net and the puck came to Stamos who took a snap shot that helped ensure Tampa Bay’s 4 – 1 win. After a strong 30 minutes the Sabres failed to give head coach Dan Bylsma his first win as the Sabres head coach. Balsam said his team is coming together but the final product will take time to polish.
