The Montreal Canadiens extended their winning streak to four games with a 4-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres. Cole Caufield, Josh Anderson, and Alex Newhook were instrumental in the win, along with Jake Evans, who sealed the game with an empty-net goal. Jakub Dobes made 23 saves, showcasing solid defensive effort. The Sabres, despite scoring through Alex Tuch and Jiri Kulich, face a tough run, having lost two straight games. Newhook's key goal towards the end of the second period shifted momentum in the Canadiens' favor.

Montreal's victory marks their third win over Buffalo this season, putting them in a strong position to complete a season sweep in their next matchup. The Sabres, however, find themselves in last place in the Eastern Conference following a promising stretch of play. Lane Hutson also made headlines, moving into second place for points by a rookie defenseman in Canadiens history.
