05/31/12 GAME OF THE YEAR: MATCH-UP #2 Source: NHL - Buffalo Sabres "Playing in their first afternoon game of the season, the Buffalo Sabres clearly weren't bothered by the early wake-up call. Derek Roy posted his first two-goal game in more than three months, and Christian Ehrhoff added three assists, as the Sabres handed the Pittsburgh Penguins a 6-2 loss in front of a giddy sold-out matinee crowd at First Niagara Center. Jason Pominville also had three points (1+2) in the game, giving him six goals and four assist in his last eight games. Paul Gaustad scored the game winner, and now has seven points (3+4) in his last 10 games. He also won a game-high 16 of 23 faceoffs. The win snapped an 0-3-1 skid for the Sabres, and improved their record to 25-27-7. Now at 57 points, the Sabres moved up to 14th spot in the Eastern Conference and are now just seven points behind Toronto for eighth in the East."
