The Buffalo Sabres used three power play goals to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 5-1 at KeyBank Center on Thursday night.
It was Montreal’s second straight loss to start the season after they lost to the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday night. Buffalo’s power play went 3/6 in the win while Montreal’s power play went 0/4. That proved to be one difference, although there were many reasons for the game going the way it did.
Buffalo started off strong, getting the game’s first four shots of the game.
