After a win against the Sharks on Thursday, the Canadiens were back in action tonight in Buffalo.

Montreal wanted to win a fourth straight game for the first time this season.

Here are the lineups for the occasion:

No goals were scored in the first period.

In the second, the goals started to be scored.

First, Cole Caufield scored his 29th goal of the season. This is a personal record for him.

Another point for Patrik Laine on the sequence, who has been playing well since the return from the all-star break.

In his last four games, he has six points.

However, the Sabres replied twice to that goal.

First, Alex Tuch created the equalizer.

Then, Jiri Kulich gave the first lead to his team in the game.

In turn, Montreal scored two goals.

First, Josh Anderson brought everyone back to square one.

Andy has become the 11th player on the CH to score 10 goals this season. Montreal is the club with the most scorers with at least 10 goals this season.

Before the end of the period, Alex Newhook, with less than three seconds left, gave the visitors the lead again.

3-2 after 40 minutes of play.

The Sabres played much better in the third period, but they never had any real chances to thwart Jakub Dobes.

Jake Evans sealed the outcome of the meeting in an empty net. He is one goal and one point away from tying his career highs in both categories.

Final score: 4-2 Canadiens, who win a fourth straight game for the first time this season.

And with this victory, Montreal finally gains ground on the last playoff spot, now just three points away.

Martin St-Louis’ team will face the Sabres again on Monday, this time at the Bell Centre.


Overtime

— Too bad for Connor Hughes, but the Rocket still wins.

— He didn’t let himself get intimidated.

— Will he be traded?

— Well said, Félix.

— Christian Dvorak gained some value: he played a whole game.

— Yes.
