Bottom Six Minutes: Habs’ depth stands tall once again - 
Following up a game one in which they couldn’t get much going, the Montreal Canadiens were back in Buffalo Sabres’ territory looking to earn a split of their road games before taking the series back to the Bell Centre. This time, they got going early and didn’t look back, earning their highest margin of victory in these playoffs with a 5-1 win. While their top line played much better than they had in the first game, it was once again their depth players who did most of the damage in the win. None did more damage than Alex Newhook, who potted a pair of huge goals to build their lead.

The Buffalo Sabres defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 in Game 1 of Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs picked up for the Buffalo Sabres where the first round left off: with Josh Doan and Zach Benson creating havoc and scoring points. Doan (1+1) and Benson (0+2) had two first-period points each to build an early lead and the Sabres rode the momentum to a 4-2 win in Game 1 of their series against the Montreal Canadiens at KeyBank Center on Wednesday. Ryan McLeod also had two points (1+1) while Jordan Greenway and Bowen Byram added goals. Byram’s goal was his fourth of the playoffs, matching the franchise record for goals by a defenseman in a single playoff year. Alex Lyon made 26 saves in his fifth consecutive start. It was a hustle play from Doan and Benson that gave the Sabres added cushion during the third period of their Game 6 win over the Bruins.

Slow Start Cost The Montreal Canadiens - 
from Eric Engels of Sportsnet,This looked like it was going the wrong way for the Montreal Canadiens from the second their most surefooted defenceman tripped over himself and coughed up the puck for a three-on-one, and that happened before Game 1 of this second-round series against the Buffalo Sabres was even five minutes old.Then, nine minutes after Lane Hutson’s improbable bobble gave Josh Doan a tap-in goal, the Canadiens faced their first two-goal deficit of the playoffs when a puck they contained between their four penalty killers in the slot slipped free and got moved quickly to Ryan McLeod on the goal line.Not ideal.Coach Martin St. Louis spoke earlier in the day about how nice it would be not to be chasing the series right off the hop.After the game, he couldn’t help but lament the Canadiens losing 4-2 and never quite catching up to those speedy Sabres.“It was hard to start off with some misfortune,” St. Louis said.

Canadiens @ Sabres Top Six Minutes: Habs can’t recover from unlucky start in Game 1 - 
First period Lane Hutson tries to play a puck that Zach Benson left behind on his way to the net, but the defenceman gets his stick into the feet of the Sabres forward, and Buffalo gets an immediate power play to begin. A strong kill by Montreal has settled them into this game. Hutson gets the entire left side of the offensive zone to himself, goes in, and fires a shot off Alex Lyon’s pad and up off the crossbar. Now Hutson stumbles along the wall and the puck goes to Benson. He goes in a three-on-one, passes it to Josh Doan, and Doan puts it in the net for a 1-0 Sabres lead. Hutson isn’t having any luck to begin this game. This isn’t the tight-checking brand of hockey we saw versus Tampa Bay. Montreal has lanes to work the puck through. Josh Anderson sends the puck right across the top of the crease to Phillip Danault, and Lyon has to make a big save. Lyon makes another poin
