Mike Grier, Jason Pominville and Matt Ellis each scored in the first five minutes of a wild opening period to lift the Buffalo Sabres to a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Wednesday night. Tyler Myers and Thomas Vanek also scored in the first for the Sabres, who opened a three-game road trip. Steve Reinprecht and Rostislav Olesz had the Panthers' goals. Sabres goalie Ryan Miller, who hasn't lost in regulation this season, stopped 41 shots. Miller had the night off Saturday when Buffalo lost 4-2 to Atlanta. Scott Clemmensen made his second straight start in goal for the Panthers but didn't last long. He was replaced by Tomas Vokoun less than two minutes into the game. Vokoun finished with 30 saves.
