The Buffalo Sabres dominated the Boston Bruins in Game 4 of the NHL playoffs, clinching a 6-1 victory that gives them a 3-1 lead in the series. According to WTOP, the Sabres scored four goals in the first period, with contributions from Josh Doan, Peyton Krebs, Zach Benson, and Bowen Byram.

Alex Lyon made 21 saves in net, showcasing solid goaltending. Coach Lindy Ruff confirmed that forwards Tyson Kozak and Jason Zucker will not return for the remainder of the series due to injuries, as reported by Yahoo Sports.

The Sabres' offensive explosion early in the game set the tone, leaving the Bruins struggling to respond, highlighted by frustration from goalie Jeremy Swayman, who was pulled after allowing six goals.

Following the loss, Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy expressed embarrassment over the performance, emphasizing the need for improvement as the team heads back to Buffalo for Game 5, as noted by Daily Faceoff.

With this victory, the Sabres are just one win away from their first playoff series win since 2007, aiming to close it out in front of their home crowd on Tuesday night, according to Boston.com.
