The Canadiens are gearing up for a crucial match against the Sabres at the KeyBank Center on Thursday, marking the second leg of their road trip. This game holds significant weight as it's the second of three meetings against Buffalo this month. Montreal, fresh off a 4-2 victory over the Sabres in their season opener, boasts an impressive five-game winning streak against their Atlantic Division rival since November 2024. However, the Sabres are not to be underestimated, having played well at home (14-6-2) and holding two games in hand on the Canadiens (47 GP: 59 points).
The game promises to be an intriguing contest, with both teams showcasing their prowess. Keep an eye on Lane Hutson, who's on the cusp of his 100th career NHL assist, and Rasmus Dahlin, who's been a key player for Buffalo. The Canadiens' morning skate is set for 11:30 a.m. ET, and fans can look forward to a special offer from KFC, featuring their famous chicken sandwich for just $5.95 at participating restaurants in the Montreal area.
