Boston led 2-0 early in the third period, but allowed four straight goals en route to a disappointing 4-3 loss. The Bruins looked like they were on their way to stealing Game 1, but Boston’s play struggled in the third period. Forward David Pastrnak said the team has to learn from Game 2.

"Obviously, a tough outcome,” Pastrnak said postgame on Sunday. “We had a good lead, we got the second goal early in the third, and didn’t get the job done. The will is there, it’s been there all year with this group.

We just have to regroup again, come to work tomorrow, see what we did wrong in those last 10 minutes, and improve for Game 2. ” The Sabres scored three goals in just over four-and-a-half minutes in the third period to take the lead. It was a stunning result for the Bruins, and goalie Jeremy Swayman said the team has to flush it and make sure they play a full 60 minutes in Game 2.
