Cole Caufield shone for the Montreal Canadiens, scoring twice, including the decisive goal, in a 7-5 victory over the Buffalo Sabres, breaking the Canadiens' six-game losing streak. His performance also marked his league-leading 12th goal of the season.

Buffalo's efforts included goals from Rasmus Dahlin and Dylan Cozens, but injuries to key players like Tage Thompson impacted their performance. The night also featured significant wins from the Dallas Stars and Philadelphia Flyers.
