The Montreal Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres look to buck their losing trend in their faceoff on Tuesday at Bell Centre. The Canadiens have gone 2-3 in their last five games, including back-to-back defeats to the Pittsburgh Penguins 2-9 and the Winnipeg Jets 2-4. Montreal’s defense has been almost non-existent in the past two games, during which they have allowed a total of 13 goals. The Sabres’ skid reached 10 games following a 5-3 loss to the Toronto Maple Leaf. After 13 games, Devon Levi got another chance to patrol between the pipes but his stint did not make any difference as Buffalo conceded five goals, three of which came from Maple Leafs star John Tavares. Buffalo (11-16-4) is one point away from dropping to last place in the Atlantic Division standings, which is currently occupied by the Canadiens (11-16-3).
