The Buffalo Sabres will welcome the Montreal Canadiens to KeyBank Center for an NHL game on Monday. The Buffalo Sabres won 0-2 in their last game over the Islanders. Kyle Okposo scored with 6 1/2 minutes remaining, Eric Comrie stopped 27 shots for his second career shutout, and the Buffalo Sabres beat the New York Islanders 2-0 on Saturday.
Jeff Skinner added an empty-net goal to help Buffalo win its second straight after losing the previous four. The Sabres remained six points behind Pittsburgh for the final wild card in the tightly-contested Eastern Conference playoff race after the Penguins beat Washington later Saturday night.
“It was a very mature game, I thought from us,” Okposo said. “We played the game that needed to be played today and we didn’t get frustrated. We just continued to play our game. And we didn’t get sucked into trying to make too many plays or taking things that weren’t there. That’s obviously a very frustrating team to play against, they know how to win, they know how to lock it down. We just did a great job staying patient.”
The Montreal Canadiens on the other hand won 8-2 against the Blue Jackets in their last game. Rafael Harvey-Pinard scored three goals for his first career hat trick and the Montreal Canadiens beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 8-2 Saturday night. Nick Suzuki had a goal and three assists, Mike Hoffman had a goal and two assists, Brendan Gallagher and Jesse Ylonen each added a goal and an assist, and Alex Belzile also scored for Montreal.
Mike Matheson had three assists and Johnathan Kovacevic had two. Harvey-Pinard, a Quebec native received a standing ovation following his third goal and another one after being named the first star of the game. In the dressing room, a player had covered up part of his name plate. It read: “R. Hatty-Pinard.” “Honestly, it’s tough to describe,” Harvey-Pinard said. “I had chills. I was just hearing the crowd, it was so loud.
That was a good moment. I was enjoying it at 100%.” Gallagher had a few words of encourage for his young teammate. “I was trying to get him to stand up and salute the crowd,” Gallagher said with a grin. “He’s a little smarter than that, he didn’t fall for it. It was fun to see him smiling.”
