After losing the first three games of the 2025-26 season, the Sabers are back on track with two straight wins.
They defeated the Senators 8-4 and shut out the two-time defending champion Panthers 3-0. That momentum could carry over into another tough matchup on Monday night.
Buffalo will cross the border and play Montreal Canadiens Monday night hockey. The Canadiens are 4-2, having won four straight before Saturday's loss to the Rangers.
Montreal allowed three goals in the third period, ending its winning streak at home. The upcoming game against Buffalo will be the Canadiens' last home game until November.
