Defenseman Sergei Gonchar backhanded a pass from the right circle that sailed by Boston blue liner Nick Boynton in the slot and right onto the stick of Knuble, who beat goalie Martin Biron for his 20th tally of the season. (article 1)
After a scoreless first period, with Buffalo outshooting Boston, 11-10, the Bruins turned the tables in the second, pouring 13 shots on Biron to just four for the Sabres. (article 1)
The Bruins were mildly involved in the action, shipping Defenseman Jeff Jillson to Buffalo in a three-team deal that saw prospect center Brad Boyes and power-play specialist Andy Delmore (a defenseman) come to Boston. (article 2)
The biggest news there is that Jillson as an expendable part now that Gonchar is manning the point on the power play. (article 2)
