Montreal at Buffalo

Montreal has won all three meetings this season while holding the Sabres to a total of three goals. The Canadiens have an opportunity to snap a losing streak as Buffalo has lost four of its last five games and dealing with several key injuries, including goalies Robin Lehner and Chad Johnson. The Sabres lost 4-1 to Arizona on Wednesday when Linus Ullmark and Johnson shared time in goal. The Sabres are 1-9 their last 10 games when playing with one day of rest and just 9-23 their last 32 home games. Also, Buffalo is 16-34 versus Eastern Conference teams and Montreal is 8-3 the last 11 meetings at Buffalo. Home ice has not been much advantage for the Sabres this season and play the Canadiens.
