Game Recaps:
Montreal Canadiens v. Buffalo Sabres – 7p EST Start Time
Heading into Buffalo the Montreal Canadiens look to pick up their second victory of the young 2019-20 season, however, it would be the Sabres striking first as Victor Olofsson would score his fourth of the season on the powerplay. But it wouldn’t last as Joel Armia would score a shorthanded goal to tie the game, and then with 21 seconds left in the first period Armia would strike again on the powerplay to give the Canadiens a 2-1 lead to end the first period. Then in the second period Jack Eichel would score a powerplay goal to tie the game, and then again at even strength to give the Sabres the 3-2 lead. In the third period Jeff Skinner would score to give the Sabres a 4-2 lead, but the Canadiens would comeback as Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Ben Chiarot would both score to tie the game and send it to overtime. In overtime it would be Marcus Johansson to save the day as he would score 90 seconds into overtime to give the Sabres the 5-4 overtime victory.
