Hockey Hall of Fame Game

The HBL's two finalist teams met up via net play to play their final exibition game of the pre season to benefit the Hockey Hall of Fame. The Sabres wasted little time in jumping out for a small measure of payback having lost the Stanley Cup to the Senators several months earlier, when defensmen Dmitri Kalinin ventured in on a breakaway and scored in the first minute of the game.
Ottawa's Joe Sakic then went on and peppered the net with shots to tie it at 1-1. Then the Senators took the lead on a powerplay goal by Mike Fischer that beat the goalie on a rebound. Buffalo's newly acquired B.Lukowich evened the score late in the 2nd period.
Early in the 3rd period Jason Pominville went on a surge and scored the eventual game winner with a low wrister.
