Ryan Miller's blind glove save in the final seconds was enough -- barely -- to lift the Sabres past the Islanders and into the Eastern Conference semifinals.
After giving up three third-period goals, Miller stopped the final nine shots he faced in Buffalo's 4-3, series-ending victory Friday night.
Maxim Afinogenov scored the decisive goal as the Sabres hung on to win their third straight and eliminate the Islanders in five games.
