Sabres veteran Jason Pominville answered on the very next shift on a similar play, poking home a loose puck in tight. Then Conor Sheary gave Buffalo a 2-1 lead shooting the puck through Leafs defenceman Nikita Zaitsev and Frederik Andersen.With Patrick Marleau providing a hard-earned screen smack in front of Ullmark, Morgan Rielly tied the game with just 18 ticks left in the first.
“If there’s a chance to make a play, I’m going to make a play,” Petan said after the morning skate. He also took Ennis’s shifts on the second power-play unit. “Our pro scouts saw something they wanted, so we’re putting him in and giving him an opportunity. [Ennis] played real well here, so it’s tough that way,” coach Mike Babcock said.
