Buffalo at Montreal

Buffalo looks to even the series after losing its first road game of the postseason. Notwithstanding Sunday's loss, the Sabres are 25-7 in their past 32 road games, and Montreal is 1-6 in its past seven games following a win and it hasn't won at least three straight since April 4. Buffalo's Alex Lyon stopped 31 shots Sunday, including 13 in the first period alone, but suffered a second-straight loss. However, Sabres coach Lindy Ruff defended Lyon and he will be in net for Game 4 with a 4-3 mark and a 2.18 goals-against average so far in the playoffs. The Canadiens have lost five of seven after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous game. Take the Sabres.
