Top Notes
- With tonight’s win, the Sabres have points in five straight divisional matchups (3-0-2) for the first time since they had points in six in a row from Feb. 26 to March 23, 2013.
- Buffalo’s win broke a six-game losing streak against Montreal, but the Sabres have now gone 6-0-1 in their last seven matchups with the Canadiens that came as part of a home-and-home series, including wins in the last five.
- A win tomorrow night would complete the Sabres’ third straight sweep of a home-and-home against the Habs. The last two came in Nov. 2007 and April 2006.
- Jhonas Enroth made 30 saves tonight and now has a .959 save percentage and a 1.37 goals-against average in his last four games.
- Judging by save percentage, this is the second-best four-game stretch of his career, trailing only his .963 mark from Nov.2 to Nov. 11, 2011.
- Enroth hasn’t allowed an even-strength goal in his last 268:35 on the ice. His even-strength save percentage of .936 this season ranks seventh in the league among goaltenders with at least 10 games played.
- Drew Stafford missed the second and third periods with a lower-body injury.
