The Montreal Canadiens (5-4) will face the Buffalo Sabres (5-3) in Game 3 of their second-round series on Sunday, with the puck drop scheduled for 7 pm ET.
The Habs dropped the first game of the series, but the scoreline was a flattering towards the Sabres, who were outshot by Martin St-Louis’ team by a wide margin.
The numbers suggested Montreal would be in a great position to bounce back in Game 2, and though underlying statistics don’t always reveal the future, in this case, it was an accurate prediction.
The Canadiens started Game 2 with the type of intensity that was absent from most first periods throughout the year, powered by an impressive two-goal effort from Newfoundlander Alex Newhook. It took them roughly one minute to establish a lead, and they never looked back, emerging from Buffalo with a 5-1 win, and a tied series.
Simply put, the momentum is now firmly in the Canadiens’ corner, especially now that the series has made its way to Montreal, where the Bell Centre faithful serve as the ultimate motivator.
And they’ll need it, given the play of the first line.
Nick Suzuki continues to produce, as per tradition, but the offence from the other top forwards on the team, Cole Caufield and Juraj Slafkovsky, has slowed to a trickle. Caufield has not registered a point since April 26, versus the , whereas Slafkovsky has only offered one assist since his playoff-opening hat-trick on April 19.
Game 3 is scheduled to start at 7 pm ET on Sunday.
The Canadiens are currently down 0-1 in the series against the Sabres.
The head coach of the Montreal Canadiens is Martin St-Louis.
The Canadiens outshot the Sabres significantly in Game 1, despite losing the match.

This would usually be a recipe for disaster, but Montreal’s depth has done a borderline miraculous job of providing offence when the team needs it most.
Whether it’s Newhook, Kirby Dach, Alexandre Texier, Zachary Bolduc, or Josh Anderson, among others, there always seems to be one player willing to carry the torch while the first line attempts to find its rhythm.
Of course, this is not a sustainable situation, but if Caufield and Slafkovsky do return to their scoring ways, having primary, secondary, and tertiary scoring available would be a game changer for the Canadiens.
St-Louis does not like changing his lineup after a win, therefore we can assume the lines and defensive pairing will remain intact.
If the team does announce any changes, we will update the article with the accurate information.
Cole Caufield – Nick Suzuki – Juraj Slafkovsky
Alex Newhook – Jake Evans – Ivan Demidov
Alexandre Texier – Phillip Danault – Josh Anderson
Zachary Bolduc – Kirby Dach — Joe Veleno
Logan Stanley – Connor Timmins
