'A 3-1 victory over the Sabres came thanks in large part to the play of Sheldon Souray, who, after missing the entire 2002-2003 season due to a wrist injury that required successive surgeries, is looking increasingly like the dominant force that helped lead Montreal to the second round of the playoffs the previous year. Souray scored, added an assist, racked up 21 penalty minutes on five infractions, and led the team with four shots. He finished the game at plus-2, one of five Montreal players, including the entire line of Richard Zednik, Mike Ribeiro, and Marcel Hossa, to do so.'
