0:00It's April 28th. This is NHL News Today, powered by AI Everything Happening with Your Team. I'm Cory with the Story. The Buffalo Sabers hold a three games to one lead over the Boston Bruins in their first round NHL Playoff series, setting up Game 5 to Night Ed, 7 p.m. Eastern in Buffalo. With a win, the Sabers punch their ticket to the second round for the first time since 2007. This marks Buffalo's first playoff run since 2011, fueled by their division title. Their first since the 09-10 season. Their regular season firepower has translated perfectly, dropping at least three goals per game so far. Fans in Buffalo are buzzing for a home closeout, while the Bruins face do-or-die pressure after getting outscored 9-2 in the last two games. Boston's defense and goalie, Jeremy Swaman, have struggled big time. Look for Ty's Thompson to break out with a hat trick after 12 shots over the last three games. The Bruins star David Pastrenack stays cold, with no points in his last two.

1:03Sabers goalie Alex Lyon, on fire with a 9-64 save percentage layley, could snag a shut-out. Buffalo seals it, four nothing tonight, ending the drought and shifting the whole Playoff picture. Playoffs just got a whole lot spicier.
