Canadiens vs. Sabres Top Six Minutes: Cole Caufield comes through on Saturday night - 
First period The Canadiens have some pace early, putting pressure on Buffalo’s defence. The Sabres have the first two shots, but neither one troubled Jacob Fowler. Nick Suzuki throws three hits on a shift that began with the puck in his zone and ends up setting Cole Caufield up for a open look on Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, who watches the slapshot go just wide. David Reinbacher lays a puck up the boards in the offensive zone, and has to get back on defence, but on the wrong side of Josh Norris. He slides behind Fowler in an attempt to stop the one-timer that results, but it gets through him to give the Sabres the first goal. Caufield takes another pass right in the slot, rips a shot, and misses on the other side of the net. Luukkonen might be hearing those shots more than seeing them. Montreal has zero shots, but three scoring chances. With Oliver Kapanen replacing Owen Beck, the fourth line s

Bottom Six Minutes: Are we worried about Jakub Dobeš? - 
Seven games into the 2026-27 season, the Montreal Canadiens are on pace for 82 points in the standings. Luckily it is an 84-game season, so they have a very long road on which to change that projection, but it should suffice to say that this wasn’t the start many had envisioned for the club. You don’t make rash lineup decisions just seven games into a season, but it is enough of a sample to start wondering about where you’re weak, and where you can improve to ensure that you’re back in the dance come playoff time. There is no sugar coating it; Jakub Dobeš cost the Habs their Wednesday night clash with the Washington Capitals, and we’re at somewhat of an early-season crossroads with the goaltending situation in Montreal. Jakub Dobes to start the Habs season (4 games played): • 1 win • 2 losses • 1 OT loss • 4.63 GAA (60th out of 64) • .841 sv % (55th out of 64) • -5.8 GSAx (62nd out of 64) • 18 go

He’s got just one assist in his last four games, and hasn’t looked nearly as dominant.Marchenko, meanwhile, started off rather quietly. He had registered just one goal in seven games heading into Thursday night’s clash with the Buffalo Sabres. He had a respectable six points in seven games.But it was nothing like what fans saw at Scotiabank Arena against the Sabres.
