Notes - After a scoreless first period the Sabres' broadcast team notes this is the first full period of play between these clubs all season where the Sabres haven't scored. YIPES!

The game was played very cautiously by the Leafs, wary of their abysmal performances in upstate NY. The game finally opened up a bit in the third period.

The Leafs were handed a chance for the second straight game for penalties to decide the outcome of a game. This time it was Drury who was sent off for a double-minor (Bleed, Allison! Bleed!) However, Ryan Miller is not Tim Thomas. Miller shut down Tucker on a beauty cross-crease feed from Allison.
Leafs defenceman Tomas Kaberle set a franchise record with his assist on Sundin's power-play goal. It was his 40th point with the man advantage this season, topping the 39 by Larry Murphy in the 1995-96 season.
