The Buffalo Sabres picked up a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1 of the second round. With this, the Sabres have a 1-0 series lead and will be looking to expand on it in Game 2. Sabres forward Josh Doan was one of the main reasons for the team's win, as he put together a strong performance in Game 2. Doan scored the Sabres' game-opening goal at the 4:31 mark of the first period and then recorded an assist on Ryan McLeod's first-period goal that gave Buffalo a 2-0 lead. With this, Doan stepped up in a big way for the Sabres in their Game 1 victory over the Canadiens. Doan is only continuing to break out for the Sabres as the playoffs roll on. The 24-year-old forward is only getting better and is continuing to show Buffalo that they made the right call picking him up from the Utah Mammoth this past off-season. After being held off the scoresheet in his first three playoff games this spring, Doan has responded by recording five points in his last four games alone. The 2021 second-round pick is thriving right now for Buffalo, and he will be looking to stay hot from here.
