Luke Adam's power-play goal late in the first period has given the Sabres a 3-0 lead in Mannheim.
This performance by Adler Mannheim is a far cry from last season's exhibition game against the
San Jose Sharks, who had to rally in a shootout to win 3-2. The Sharks were actually trailing in the shootout and down to their final shooter before
Ryane Clowe tied it and
Dan Boyle won it in the fourth round.
Through 20 minutes, it's all Sabres.
