Adam's pair puts Buffalo up, 2-0

Buffalo strikes first here in Berlin as Luke Adam breaks the scoreless tie on a one-timer. Adam, who was one of the last players to make this team, scored at 3:40 of the second period. He scored again, unassisted, at the five-minute mark when he banged home a rebound before the Kings' defense could answer.

On the first goal, Austrian Thomas Vanek drew the secondary assist on the goal with a workmanlike effort deep in the attacking zone. In fact, he had drawn a delayed penalty on defenseman Matt Greene when he kicked the puck free and onto the stick of newly-minted captain Jason Pominville, who fed it to Adam for a one-timer that squeezed through the legs of Jonathan Bernier.

The first goal came on Buffalo's 10th shot of the game. In four periods in Europe, Vanek now has 5 points -- 2 goals and 3 assists.
