The Buffalo Sabres have been 3-2 shootout winners over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday afternoon, and so they ended up having to beat them twice because of an prompt replay evaluation.
Sabres defenseman Owen Energy thought he had scored the game-winning objective in time beyond regulation. Within the closing seconds of the 3-on-3 time beyond regulation interval, he scored a buzzer-beating objective. The Sabres celebrated, the Oilers have been shocked and each groups retreated to their locker rooms.
The one downside? A replay evaluation decided that the play was offside, negating the objective and requiring each groups to return from their locker rooms to complete the sport.
