Sabres take first lead of the season on a shot that rebounds in off glass

On a first-period power play, Jack Quinn fired a one-timer from the slot that sailed just right and over the net, bounced off the glass and fluttered in off goalie Leevi Merilainen’s back.

Tim Stutzle tied it for Ottawa in the period.
