In a thrilling shootout win for the Montreal Canadiens over the Buffalo Sabres, there was a lot to like from the Tricolore. It wasn’t one of those wins where their goaltender needed to stand on his head, they legitimately took over the game in the third period, and ultimately prevailed thanks to a great Michael Pezzetta moment in the shootout.
With the Habs down a goal heading into that final frame, they turned up the heat in a big way. Brendan Gallagher was a big part of that effort, scoring his 200th career goal to tie the game, eventually permitting the team to get to bonus hockey and win it.
