If Buffalo wants to make a move it all starts with defense. Ryan Miller stops the shots and is one of the best goalies in the league and is the obvious strength of the Sabres team. Ever since his appearance for USA in the Olympics, Miller has become a household name and a brick wall in the goal. Miller can’t stop all of the shots and will need his team to help play better overall defense on the ice.

In the last game against the New York islanders, the Buffalo defense allowed 33 shots on net in the first 40 minutes of the game, which is not going to work if Buffalo wants to improve in the standings. They are currently in the 11th spot overall in the Eastern Conference standings, three spots out of a playoff position.

Montreal has set their sights higher as they are just two points behind the Bruins for first place. They own the seventh seed in the overall standings and look to improve their position. This game would normally be an easy victory however this will be their third game in four nights, while the Sabres have two days of rest.

The Sabres are 4-1 in their last five home games against a team with a losing road record and the Canadiens are 3-7 in their last 10 road games. The Sabres will play inspired defense at home after a poor performance in the last outing and beat the road weary Canadiens.
