Sabres Lose Ostlund, Head to Boston for Game Six

0:00On April 29th, Buffalo Sabers couldn't seal the deal in game 5, dropping a tight 2-1 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins at home after that. 6-1 blowout in game 4. Boston's top star came through with the winner, keeping the series alive at 3 games to 2, as we head to game 6 in Boston on Friday. The night started with a cool moment during the Canadian Anthem, when the singers might cut out and the crowd jumped in to finish it strong. But the real buzz killer came early when Noah Osslin left with a knee injury in the first period and didn't come back. Early word is, it's not looking. Good. Fans are gutted because Osslin's been huge since stepping in for Josh Norris back in game 3, centering a hotline with Josh Don and Zach Benson. Even picking up a goal and assist in that win, losing him hurts the depth, though Norris is ready to slide back in and keep things rolling. Bright side, Peyton Krebs keeps shining, notching points in every playoff game so far, including a goal and assist in game 4.

1:00He stepped up big on the top line with Alex Touch and Tagae Thompson, dazzling the crowd even in the slug. Now it's all eyes on Boston, where the Sabers aim to wrap it up on the road lines, should be more balanced without the injury scramble, and if they bring fresh legs, they could put this series to bed for good.
