The Montreal Canadiens faced a tough challenge against the Buffalo Sabres, who had won 14 of their last 16 games. Despite Samuel Montembeault’s recent strong performance, Jacob Fowler started in net, but the Canadiens struggled against the Sabres’ relentless forecheck and offensive pressure, led by Tage Thompson’s five-point night. Lane Hutson made history by becoming the second-fastest defenseman to reach 100 assists, but the Canadiens fell short, unable to capitalize on key opportunities. They will next face the Ottawa Senators on Saturday.
