  1. He stood out last night. As if he were on the verge of a break out
  2. Wow, "Skinnert" with a great shot
  3. Owen Power better get a good consideration for rookie of the year
  4. Sweet! And yes nice play by Skinner
  5. He'd be fine 5 v 5 with better line mates. He'd excel
  6. Taking dumb penalties is not a good thing
  7. Tuesday night will be enticing for both teams. For Buffalo, with the St. Louis Blues, New Jersey Devils, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Colorado Avalanche all looming in their next five games, the Canadiens represent arguably their best opportunity to pick up points for a long time. If they fail to do that, a nine-game losing skid could quickly spiral into a season-destroying 0-13 stretch. The Canadiens, conversely, will fly out to Columbus after the game for a rematch with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday night, making Buffalo likely their best chance of a win before American Thanksgiving. https://www.habseyesontheprize.com/2022/11/22/23470895/canadiens-vs-sabres-game-preview-start-time-tale-of-the-tape-and-how-to-watch-tv-listings
  8. **** https://www.nhl.com/canadiens/news/pregame-sabres-canadiens-what-you-need-to-know-november-22/c-337842468 Here's everything you need to know heading into the game: 1. The Canadiens snapped a two-game losing skid over the weekend with a thrilling 5-4 shootout victory over the Flyers. Cole Caufield scored the game-tying goal with 1.9 seconds remaining in regulation. Caufield's second tally of the night sent the fans into a frenzy, before Nick Suzuki netted the shootout-winner on a slick maneuver around goaltender Carter Hart. Christian Dvorak and Mike Matheson also scored for Montreal. Matheson was making his Canadiens debut after missing the first 17 games of the season with a strained abdominal muscle. Jake Allen turned aside 25 of 29 shots to improve to 6-6-0 on the year. Mike Hoffman didn't practice on Monday because he was undergoing a medical evaluation on a lower-body injury, so it remains to be seen if he'll be available against Buffalo. 2. Suzuki added another two assists to his resume against Philadelphia, both of which merit another look. The Habs' captain's backhand feed to Matheson from below the goal line was a thing of beauty, before he later found Caufield with a perfect cross-ice feed with time winding down. Suzuki has a team-leading 12 helpers alongside linemate Kirby Dach, four clear of Caufield and five more than Sean Monahan. 4. This is the second meeting of the season between Montreal and Buffalo. The Canadiens earned a 3-2 triumph on October 27 at KeyBank Center. Josh Anderson scored the game-winning goal with 3:46 left in the third period, blasting a slap shot past netminder Eric Comrie.
