Series MVP


Drury

Chris Drury, Buffalo
With Drury able to test the free agent market this summer, he sure did a solid job of upping his value with his performance this series. Drury led Buffalo with four goals, two of which were game-winners. He took care of his own end as well, blocking seven shots, the most of any Sabres forward.
 
 
 
Game 5: Ryan Miller makes the save of the game on Miroslav Satan.
