Final
Sabres searching for offense against Canadiens
Nov 16, 2007 - 2:21 PM Montreal (10-4-3) at Buffalo (6-10-1) 7:30 pm ESTBUFFALO, New York (Ticker) - The Buffalo Sabres try to snap a three-game losing streak on Friday when they take on the Montreal Canadiens.
The Sabres have struggled offensively this season and have scored just four goals in their last five games.
Buffalo was downed again on Thursday, suffering a 3-2 setback to the Ottawa Senators. Jochen Hecht and Derek Roy scored the goals for the Sabres while Ryan Miller stopped 34 shots in the loss.
Roy, who scored 21 goals last season, took the team lead in tallies with his sixth goal of the season on Thursday.
Miller hasn't helped the Sabres very much this season, losing for the fifth time in six starts against the Senators. The Sabres' goalie has posted just a 5-8-1 record while ranking in the bottom half of the NHL with a 2.77 goals-against average and a .898 save percentage.
The Canadiens are on fire, winning three of their last four. Montreal edged the Toronto Maple Leafs, 4-3, in overtime in its last game on Tuesday.
Rookie Carey Price made 37 saves against the Maple Leafs to improve to 4-1-1 on the season with a 2.44 goals-against average.
