The Buffalo Sabres were on the receiving end of some lucky physics that helped them to their first goal. Whether it was magic or some Jedi mind tricks that helped this puck stay in the air like it did for Brian Gionta to tip in, no one will know. Regardless, the result is one of the best tip in goals you'll see this season.
