Sabres aim to continue domination of Canadiens

Dec 19, 2006 - 3:38 PM Montreal (19-8-5) at Buffalo (24-6-2) 7:00 pm EST

BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Sabres are one of the best clubs in the National Hockey League, and the Montreal Canadiens can testify to that fact.

The Sabres are 3-0-1 against the Canadiens this season, and go for their fourth win over Montreal on Tuesday.

Buffalo had slowed a little since starting 20-3-2, going 4-3-0 since. The Sabres come off a 3-1 home loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday in which Jochen Hecht scored their only goal.

The Sabres, who went 1-for-6 on the power play, are only 5-for-56 (8.9 percent) with the extra skater in their last 10 games.

The Canadiens went 4-for-7 on the power play in a 6-4 triumph over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday, as Saku Koivu scored twice for the second straight game. Koivu leads Montreal with 14 goals, three shy of his total for last season.
