Recap: Florida vs. Buffalo
By Sports Network
Sunrise, FL (Sports Network) - Craig Anderson stopped 45 shots as the Florida Panthers downed the Buffalo Sabres, 2-1, at BankAtlantic Center.
Greg Campbell had a goal and an assist while Keith Ballard also lit the lamp for the Panthers, who have won three straight.
Ales Kotalik had a goal and Ryan Miller made 23 stops in the loss for the Sabres, who have dropped their last three games.
Florida scored two goals separated by 35 seconds in the second period to take the lead.
Skating down the ice, from the right side of the net, Mike Frolik threw a backhand pass to the other side of the net where Campbell gathered the puck and threw a wrister past Miller with 4:18 left in the second.
Moments later, Ballard's wrister from the left circle on the rush gave the Panthers a 2-0 lead.
On the power play, the Sabres made it a one-goal game as Kotalik's one-timer from the top of the left circle got through a screen and past Anderson.
However, Anderson was able to keep Buffalo from netting the equalizer as he finished the third period with 17 saves to help Florida to the win.
Buffalo dominated play for much of the first period and threw 18 shots on net, but Anderson made all the saves to keep Buffalo off the board. Miller stopped 10 shots in the frame.
