Montreal at Buffalo

Montreal is desperate for wins if it wants to earn a playoff spot. It has won four of its last six games and the Canadiens could have forward Brendan Gallagher back tonight as they go for their third straight road victory. Buffalo will have backup Carter Hutton in goal and he is 6-7-3-1 with a 3.31 goals-against average and .892 save percentage. Carey Price owns a 2.85 GAA and .909 save percentage for the Canadiens. Montreal is 17-8 its last 25 games after scoring two or fewer goals its previous game and Buffalo is 21-47 its last 68 games versus the Eastern Conference.  Also, the Sabres have lost their last five after scoring two or fewer goals their previous game and they don't bounce back well as they are 4-13 after losing by at least three goals. Play the Canadiens on the puckline.
