BUFFALO, New York (Ticker) -- The Buffalo Sabres are one of the best clubs in the National Hockey League, and the Montreal Canadiens can testify to that fact.

The Sabres are 3-0-1 against the Canadiens this season, and go for their fourth win over Montreal tonight.

Buffalo had slowed a little since starting 20-3-2, going 4-3-0 since. The Sabres come off a 3-1 home loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday in which Jochen Hecht scored their only goal.

Buffalo is always a tough game for the Habs. Maybe Montreal can shut Buffalo down, they're not scoring much anyways.

And the Canadiens are one of the best road teams in the East so it should be a good one.
