The Montreal Canadiens couldn’t eliminate the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night. That they had the prospect to advance to the East Final for the primary time since 2014. Nevertheless, Rasmus Dahlin was the star of the show for the visiting Sabres. And because of this, Martin St. Louis might want to lead his Habs right into a Game 7.
The Canadiens played a excellent first period, however the signs were there that the shoe was about to drop. Montreal managed just five shots on goal within the opening period. They scored three goals, sure. But once Buffalo modified goalies, Montreal had nothing to counter a motivated Sabres team.
“You might have to present credit to the opposite side, they played a excellent game. We did not have much calm or poise. It’s tough, you may have to pass though these moments to learn. These are stressful moments for players who want the result. It’s loud, there’s plenty of chaos, and tonight we didn’t see things clearly through that chaos. We’re higher than that. It wasn’t a great game for us,” St. Louis said on Saturday night, via Rocket Media reporter Chris Galanopoulos.
The Canadiens have been in a position to enjoy unbelievable second periods on this game. Nevertheless, Montreal was the one who broke down in the center frame in Game 6. Buffalo scored three goals within the second period to take a 5-3 lead into the dressing room. They went on so as to add one other three within the third period to shut the sport out.
Montreal and Buffalo will play their winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night on the KeyBank Center in Buffalo.
