The Montreal Canadians Should Bully The Buffalo Sabres on Their Home Ice

The Buffalo Sabres are making a run for the NHL post season and are determined to play in the league’s second season. A win over the Montreal Canadians would keep them headed in the right direction.

The best online sportsbook to bet on the NHL is BetPhoenix. They offer great wagering opportunities on every game on the schedule.

At this rate, a mid-winter meeting in the cold of Calgary could lead to hockey this spring in Buffalo. The Sabres held a players-only gathering following a 5-2 loss to Calgary on Dec. 28. Since then, they've gone 12-4-2 and have gotten within reach of eighth place and a playoff spot.

The Sabres have come a long way this season after getting off to a terrible start. They were last overall in the NHL in early November. They've moved up by finding those ways to win, including in close games. They are 6-1-2 in their last nine games decided by one goal after starting 1-4-2 in the tightest of games. If they want to beat Montreal they will need better goal tending by Ryan Miller

Miller allowed seven goals on 26 shots. With the outing, the reigning Vezina Trophy winner fell to 31st in the league in goals-against average at 2.78. Miller has allowed four or more goals 13 times this year after doing it only seven times last season.

Montreal has had a successful season especially when it comes to killing the power play. The Canadians went 1-for-5 on the power play and currently rank 10th in the NHL. They rank sixth in the penalty kill after the Leafs went 0-for-5 on the power play. The Canadians have killed 19 of 20 opposition power plays over the past five games.

The Sabres are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings in Montreal and 1-4 in the last five meetings overall.

The home ice gives Montreal the advantage as they beat the Buffalo Sabres.
