Jacob Lucchini's first NHL goal was the eventual winner as the Ottawa Senators beat Buffalo 3-1 Sunday night and snapped the Sabres' six-game winning streak.
"It's so hard to put into words, honestly," said Lucchini, a 27-year-old center playing his fifth NHL game. "You just dream about it and it was so special and, obviously, the crowd with so many people. It was such an exciting game, so to have a positive impact like that was really, you know, important for me and good for our team."
While the goal was special for Lucchini, it was clear his teammates were just as excited as they raced to swarm him. "I felt good out there. I didn't feel like I haven't played for a while, which is great," Forsberg said.Stutzle was on the ice when the Sabres had a two-man advantage and for the final minutes of the game, when he managed to score an empty-net goal for his second.
"You're going to run into some bad luck or a hot goalie in some way, shape or form throughout the year. We can't dwell on it. You just have to turn the page and look forward to the next one." Midway through the period, Lucchini jumped on a loose puck in front and scored his first on a power play to make it 2-1.
