Mike Matheson scored at 1:21 of overtime to lift the surging Montreal Canadiens to a 4-3 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night.
The Montreal Canadiens pulled out an exciting 4-3 overtime win over division rivals, the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night at Bell Centre.
The Montreal Canadiens hosted the Buffalo Sabres on Monday night, looking to extend their win streak to five games for the first time since February 26, 2022, shortly after head coach Martin St-Louis was originally hired.
What the Canadiens need to find is consistency in their effort and focus from shift to shift and game to game.
Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson scored goals for the Sabres to ignite the comeback. Buffalo finished with a 36-20 lead in shots but went 0-for-4 on the power play. Montreal went 2-for-5 with the extra man, with four of its opportunities coming during the first period.
