A back and forth first period between the Carolina Hurricanes and Buffalo Sabres finally found its first goal scorer with 5:56 to go in the frame.

Jay McClement charged the net and Joakim Nordstrom followed up and beat Nilsson with a quick shot to the blocker side to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead.

It’s Nordstrom’s third of the year. McClement (2) and Brett Pesce (7) picked up the assists.
