The Buffalo Sabres are in fantastic form with 20 points on the season, winning four straight before losing to the Boston Bruins on Saturday. Their season just encountered a minor setback, however, as Ryan Miller sustained a concussion in that game, most likely during a controversial collision with Milan Lucic, and is now out indefinitely. Jhonas Enroth will step into net against the Montreal Canadiens and into the foreseeable future.
Sabres Vs. Canadiens Preview: Game Time, TV Coverage And More
The Buffalo Sabres begin life without Ryan Miller in net against the Montreal Canadiens on Monday
Enroth has been fantastic this season; his numbers are actually better than Miller’s. He’s won all five of his starts and has a spectacular save percentage of .944. Though he’ll be starting on the road tonight, Sabres fans will like his chances of keeping those fantastic stats where they are. The Habs are averaging 2.5 goals per game and have an anemic power play.
Carey Price is performing well while the Montreal defense has improved in recent games, so this could turn out to be a low-scoring battle, even without Miller in net for Buffalo.
Game Time: 7:00 pm ET
TV Coverage: Versus (USA - National), RDN (Buffalo), TSN-Habs (Montreal)
Radio: TSN Radio 990 (Montreal - English), 98.5 FM (Montreal - French), WGR 550 AM (Buffalo)
