Timothy T. Ludwig-Imagn Images The Montreal Canadiens were in Buffalo on Friday night, hoping to even the series with the Sabres before returning to Quebec. It was one of the Habs’ best games of the playoffs, a dominant effort that resulted in a well-deserved 5-1 win.
The Sabres did land more hits than the Canadiens, but that was simply a matter of the home team chasing the play for the majority of the game. In every metric that mattered, the Canadiens were the better team. Let’s dive into the highlights!

Newfoundlander Alex Newhook obliged, scoring his second goal of the playoffs less than two minutes into the first period, with assists awarded to Kaiden Guhle and Lane Hutson . The latter, in particular, enjoyed an absolutely fantastic outing on Friday night.
