CHICAGO -- The Chicago Blackhawks dominated much of Saturday nights game against the Buffalo Sabres. When they got into a bit of trouble at the end, Corey Crawford was there to carry them to the finish. Crawford made 28 saves to lead the Blackhawks to a 2-1 victory over the winless Sabres. Ben Smith and Patrick Kane scored for the Blackhawks, who swept a pair of weekend home games, edging the Islanders 3-2 on Friday. Drew Stafford connected with 8:11 left in the third, spoiling Crawfords bid for a shutout. The Sabres (0-5-1) put together several tough challenges in the second and third periods after a slow start. "Its never an easy game," Crawford said. "They kind of hung around there. "Their goalie kept them in it, made some big stops. And they gave us a test there at the end." Ryan Miller had 38 saves for Buffalo, which has been outscored 16-6 in its worst start since 1999-2000, when it was 0-5-2. Millers performance kept the Sabres in the game, but the Blackhawks were in position for a bigger night on offence. "The finish, what it takes to score in this league, maybe we need to be a little greasier around the net," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Hang around, put it in the back of the net. "Weve missed the net, which is our biggest problem scoring goals right now. The second chances are the ones that go in in our league." Buffalos offensive futility is making life more difficult for Miller, the 2010 Vezina Trophy winner and a two-time U.S. Olympian. "It puts a lot of emphasis in the backside and you cant make any mistakes," Miller said. "Weve got to try to find a way to earn our goals and find a way to score." The Blackhawks outshot the Sabres 20-6 in the first period, but only had a 1-0 lead at intermission. Chicagos puck possession and territory dominance was aided by three power plays. But Smiths even-strength tip-in for his first goal of the season at 9:26 was the only score. Brent Seabrook wristed a shot from just inside the blue line at the top of the slot. Smith, one of four players parked in front of the net, then deflected the puck over Millers glove. Despite continued pressure in the second period, the Blackhawks didnt get their second goal until Kanes power-play score with 24.9 seconds left. Kane was open low in the right circle, and whipped Patrick Sharps cross-ice feed past Miller before he could slide across the crease. Chicago had plenty of chances early on. A quick reaction by Buffalo defenceman Tyler Myers prevented what appeared to be a sure goal. Miller got a piece of a close-in shot by Marian Hossa, but the puck continued toward the upper left corner of the net. Myers swatted the puck out of midair with his stick before it crossed the goal line. The Sabres finally began to test Crawford in the second with a flurry and several prime chances, but he stopped them all. His best stop came on a point-blank attempt by Steve Ott with 6:50 left in the period. Staffords goal completed a 3-on-2 rush. After taking Cody Hodgsons quick pass, Stafford slid a low shot past Crawford from the left circle. The Sabres outshot Chicago 13-3 in the third and tested Crawford in the final minutes. Crawford stopped Thomas Vaneks slap shot and then Hodgsons point-blank rebound attempt with just over four minutes left to preserve the lead. "If you look at the chances, we were even or better 5-on-5," Sabres coach Ron Rolston said. "We ran into some problems early with too many penalties." "I thought we had more chances from more lines, not just our top line," he added. "We havent had that the last couple of games, so thats a positive for us."
