The Sharks had gone winless in eight straight games prior to their shootout victory in Toronto on Monday, though three of those losses were decided by one goal. Tyler Toffoli scored his team-leading 23rd goal in the win over the Maple Leafs.

The Buffalo Sabres are shopping yet another player, ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The team is struggling to find wins this season.

Wennberg is still looking for his 100th NHL goal – he’s been stuck at 99 since Dec. 14 – but the five points he’s collected in the last three games represents his most productive stretch with the Sharks since signing with the team as a free agent in July.

Buffalo – Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (20-17-4, 3.01 GAA, .894 save %)

The Sabres (24-29-6) have lost four of their last six games, and they are 4-13-1 on the road since their three-game California sweep in November. The Canadiens (30-26-5) extended their win streak to five games,

Alex Tuch and Tage Thompson scored goals for the Sabres to ignite the comeback. Buffalo finished with a 36-20 lead in shots but went 0-for-4 on the power play. Montreal went 2-for-5 with the extra man, with four of its opportunities coming during the first period.

Coming into the game, the Sabres were 0-3-0 this season against the Habs because Montreal was 6-of-16 on the power play against them. That’s 16 power plays that they gave them in three games.

The Buffalo Sabres must win tonight to avoid losing all four games in 2024-25 to the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs have taken the first three meetings by a combined score of 17-8; the latest being a 4-2 final Saturday afternoon in Buffalo.
