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.
