The Bruins were unable to overcome their deficit despite a strong effort throughout the game. David Pastrnak scored the lone goal for Boston, marking his third goal of the series. Jeremy Swayman made 22 stops for the Bruins, while Alex Lyon finished with 25 saves for the Sabres.
The loss ends a feisty series comeback for the Bruins after earning a playoff berth in their first season under coach Marco Sturm. Boston has lost its last six home playoff games. Tempers flared late in the game when Zach Benson tripped Charlie McAvoy, leading to both players being sent to the penalty box.
The Sabres' victory marks their advancement to the second round of the NHL playoffs for the first time since 2007. They will now face the winner of the Montreal-Tampa Bay series in the next round. The 4-2 series win is a significant milestone for Buffalo, which ended an NHL-record 14-season playoff drought by capturing its first Atlantic Division title.
The Sabres dominated early with their speed and physical play. However, the Bruins managed to increase their offensive pressure in the second period, leading to Pastrnak's goal. The game saw increased physicality throughout, including a more than nine-minute stretch without a stoppage of play.
