Girgenson played 13 minutes and 12 seconds, including one minute and 16 seconds as a sub. He didn’t shoot, but had one power play, one block, 100% faceoff, and finished the game with a +1 positive +/-.
Both “Sabres” and “Islanders” continue to fight for a place in the “play-off” zone of the NHL Eastern Conference. Ten games into the regular season, the Sabers are six points from the top eight, but they have played a game or two less than their nearest rivals.
It was Buffalo’s second straight win.
