First Period

The Sabres set an aggressive tone early on with Josh Norris leading the charge. His two goals in this period were instrumental in establishing a commanding lead for the Blue and Gold.

The period concluded with Buffalo ahead by three points while keeping Winnipeg scoreless.

However, Alex Tuch responded swiftly for the Swords by netting another goal for his team during a powerplay opportunity. This kept Buffalo firmly in control as they entered into the final segment of play.

Third Period

In this concluding period, Jason Zucker added to Buffalo's tally with an impressive shot that found its way past Winnipeg’s goaltender. Meanwhile, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen stood tall between the pipes for Buffalo throughout all periods but was particularly notable here as he thwarted multiple attempts from Winnipeg’s offense to stage any comeback.
