Demidov Buries Power-Play Goal as Buffalo Watches

Montreal gets a glimpse of what happens when a skilled finisher finds daylight on the man advantage, and Buffalo has to live with the replay. Demidov makes Alex Lyon pay on a power-play look that looks routine on the surface and usually is not when the puck starts moving that cleanly. The kind of goal that travels fast around a bench can change a game’s temperature in a hurry, especially when one team is trying to settle in and the other is hunting for a spark.
