The Buffalo Sabres have faced some solid teams through their first 3 games, but no one quite as deep as the Montreal Canadiens.
Tonight’s home contest will give the Sabres an excellent opportunity to show the rest of the league that they’re legit. It will also be the toughest test for Buffalo so far.
The Sabres played a fairly deep team in Pittsburgh and a deep defensive team in Columbus, but neither of those teams hold a candle to Montreal. Montreal has 4 lines capable of scoring in bunches, and have 3 defensive lines that could be first lines on many teams.
