Sabres vs. Canadiens Game Preview: Tuesday, Oct. 23
Montreal Canadiens
The Canadiens have had a rollercoaster start to the season, alternating between wins and losses. Their most recent victory was a nail-biting 3-2 win over the Washington Capitals, thanks to an overtime goal from their star forward, Cole Caufield.
Caufield has been in excellent form, leading the team with three goals and two assists. However, the Canadiens’ inconsistency could be a concern, as they’ve needed overtime or a shootout in two of their four games to date.
On the defensive end, Jake Allen has been a standout, with a save percentage of .907, despite allowing five goals in his first outing.
Buffalo Sabres
On the other hand, the Sabres have had a mixed start to their season, splitting their first four home games. Their most recent victory was a 3-1 win over the New York Islanders, showing signs of progress.
Dylan Cozens has been a key player for the Sabres, leading the team with two goals. However, the Sabres’ offense has largely been underwhelming, averaging a meager 2.40 goals per game.
Their defense, led by Rasmus Dahlin, has been a bright spot, with Dahlin leading the team with five assists.
Head-to-Head Matchups
In terms of head-to-head matchups, the road team has been dominant in this series, with the Canadiens winning four of the past five games. However, both teams have shown inconsistency, making it a tough call.
The Canadiens might have the edge, given their recent form and the stellar performance of Caufield. However, the Sabres, playing at home, could leverage their defensive strength to turn the tide. This game could potentially be a close one, with the possibility of going into overtime or a shootout.
