VIDEO ⟩ Girgenson’s “Sabres” give way to “Canadiens” in “bulls”

The “Sabres” lost to the Montreal “Canadiens” team 3:4 (1:1, 2:1, 0:1, 0:0, 1:2) in the postgame shootout.

Girgenson spent 16 minutes and 34 seconds on the field, of which two minutes and 11 seconds he played in the minority, and 22 seconds in the majority. The Latvian striker scored three shots on goal, one error, six lost shots and a neutral efficiency ratio.

The 23-year-old Czech striker Lukas Rousek scored 1+1 for the home team in his NHL debut, while Riley Stillman and John Jason Peterka were also on target. Jordan Harris, Alex Belzil and Brendan Gallagher scored for the visitors, but the victory was secured by Michael Pecetta’s well-executed shot in the bull run.

With 77 points in 73 matches, the Buffalo team is in tenth place in the Eastern Conference, five points behind the Pittsburgh “Penguins” in eighth place, which would guarantee participation in the Stanley Cup.

The Sabers will play their next game on Friday when they host the New York Rangers, who are in fifth place in the Eastern Conference with 94 points.
