The Montreal Canadiens head to Buffalo for a crucial Game 5 against the Sabres, following a disappointing 3-2 loss in Game 4 that tied the series at 2-2. Head coach Martin St-Louis expressed concern over the team's slow starts, which have previously hindered their performance. Buffalo's power play proved decisive in Game 4, converting two of three opportunities, while Montreal struggled with penalties. Zach Benson, who scored the go-ahead goal on his birthday, has been a consistent threat, contributing points in three of the four games so far. Despite the setback, the Canadiens have shown their capability to win against Buffalo, having convincingly won Games 2 and 3. Alex Newhook's recent form, with six goals in his last five playoff games, offers hope for Montreal as they seek to regain momentum in this tightly contested series.
