Sabres goalie James Reimer was a major reason for it, as the veteran netminder stopped 33 out of 36 Jets shots. New Sabres [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwl-DfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen]defenseman Jacob Bernard-Docker also played a role in Buffalo's victory. The right-shot blueliner recorded two primary assists in the win, which are his first two points with the Sabres. In addition, this is the first time in his five-year NHL career that he has had a multi-assist game [https://x.com/SabresPR/status/1903909952160157893]. Seeing Bernard-Docker make an impact in only his second game with the Sabres is quite encouraging. The hope is that the 2018 first-round pick will take that next step in his development after getting this much-needed fresh start with the Sabres. Having a game like this will certainly create more optimism surrounding the 24-year-old blueliner. The Sabres acquired Bernard-Docker from the Ottawa Senators at the trade deadline as a part of the Dylan Cozens trade. In 131 career NHL games, he has five goals, 17 assists, and 22 points. It will be interesting to see how Bernard-Docker builds on his strong performance from here, but this was a great way for him to make an early impression.
