4 takeaways from the Buffalo Sabres 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks

The Buffalo Sabres rallied from multiple deficits to defeat the Chicago Blackhawks in their home opener on Saturday night. Despite trailing 2-0 early and 3-2 heading into the third period, the Sabres secured the victory behind goals from Jack Quinn, Rasmus Dahlin, and game-winner Jiri Kulich. The game followed Buffalo raising its first division banner in 15 seasons and marked Olen Zellweger's team debut.

Writer Brandon Croce highlights Buffalo's slow starts, goaltender Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen's early struggles, and a scoreless power play through two games. However, Jiri Kulich provided a major highlight by netting the game-winner, marking his first NHL goal in nearly a year after missing most of last season due to blood clots.
