Jack Eichel and Tomas Hertl spoiled Sunday afternoon in Buffalo, as the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Sabres, 4-1.
It was scoreless after one period before Vegas scored twice in the second. Hertl finished with two goals on four shots. Eichel, the former Sabres captain, added a goal on five shots, and Vegas also scored shorthanded. Ivan Barbashev had two assists.
Buffalo outshot Vegas, twenty-nine to twenty-six, but goalie Adin Hill stopped twenty-eight of them. The Sabres’ only goal came in the third period from Beck Malenstyn, and they went oh for three on the power play.
The Sabres host Tampa Bay Wednesday at seven p.m. Eastern, then visit Chicago Thursday.
