The Buffalo Sabres got a surprise visit from 2014-15 Zemgus tonight in the nation’s capital!

Forget the Ghost of Christmas past; the Buffalo Sabres got a visit from the ghost of Zemgus Girgensons past tonight in their road game against the Washington Capitals.

Tied 0-0 with the Sabres owning exactly zero shots on goal, Girgensons gathered in a beautiful feed from Derek Grant, streaked down the center of the ice, and flashed the sort of hands that made us remember he topped 30 points in a season not too long ago.

Here’s the play:

I would love to see this goal light a spark under Girgensons’ butt – Lord knows we can use the scoring.

For those of you keeping score at home, Rasmus Ristolainen got an assist on the play, giving him 12 for the season, the most on the team. Keep ’em coming, Rasmus!

Girgensons scored on the Buffalo Sabres’ first shot of the game, and so far, it’s the difference, as Buffalo leads Washngton 1-0 after 20 minutes in the Verizon Center.
