The Buffalo Sabres get their first win of the season and it finally featured some offense! Eight goals of offense! Huge games from Zach Benson, Josh Doan, Ryan McLeod, Alex Tuch, and plenty of others finally got Sabres fans juiced up and into the game. Sneaky Joe breaks down the win, from the reviewed goal by Ottawa early on, to McLeod's massive shorthanded goal, to Lindy Ruff's timeout in the third period.

What signs did we see from this win that could carry into future games? Benson's inclusion in the lineup could be the biggest thing to watch. Plus, the powerplay finally comes alive, even if it got a little lucky. And what's ahead for the Sabres as they play almost everyone in the division in the next two weeks.
