In a stunning display of offensive dominance, the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Boston Bruins 6-1 in Game 4 of their playoff series, taking a commanding 3-1 lead. The Sabres scored four goals in the first period, with Peyton Krebs, Josh Doan, Zach Benson, and Bowen Byram each finding the back of the net, while the Bruins struggled to respond, managing only a shorthanded goal from Sean Kuraly late in the game.

Goaltender Jeremy Swayman was pulled after allowing six goals on 29 shots, and Joonas Korpisalo finished the game in net for Boston. The Sabres outshot the Bruins 35-22, showcasing their speed and tenacity, particularly in the opening period where they led 4-0 and had a 19-5 shots advantage by the end of the first.
