MONTREAL -- The Canadiens are seeking their fourth consecutive victory tonight against the Sabres at the Bell Centre.

TICKETS: Sabres @ Canadiens
Martin St-Louis' squad was dominant in a 5-2 thumping of the Maple Leafs on Monday night.
Leading the way offensively was the line of Josh Anderson (2 goals, 1 assist), Cole Caufield (1 goal, 2 assists) and Nick Suzuki (1 assist), which was a nightmare for the Toronto defenders and goaltender Petr Mrazek.

Anderson has three goals in his last two games, while Caufield has six points (3 goals, 3 assists) in his last three appearances.
Mike Hoffman and Rem Pitlick also scored for Montreal, sending the 10,552 fans in attendance home happy.

With an assist on Anderson's first tally, defenseman Jeff Petry also extended his point streak to four games.
Goaltender Sam Montembeault made 35 saves to record his fourth win of the season.

Following this morning's optional skate, St-Louis confirmed that there won't be any lineup changes versus Buffalo.
For their part, the Sabres have dropped three games in a row after falling 7-3 to the Blue Jackets on Sunday in Columbus.
Tage Thompson scored his 20th goal of the season in the loss. It was his fourth goal in the last two games after he registered his first NHL hat trick on Saturday in Denver.
Thompson now sits tied for the lead in goals with Jeff Skinner, and leads the club in scoring with 38 points, two points clear of Skinner.
Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin was back at practice on Tuesday after missing the game against Columbus with a lower-body injury.
Forward Kyle Okposo isn't expected to play tonight due to illness.
Forward Victor Olofsson has a non-COVID related illness and didn't travel with the team to Montreal. With Olofsson sidelined, Brandon Biro was recalled from the AHL's Rochester Americans. Biro will make his NHL debut.
Goaltender Craig Anderson will get the start.
The Sabres have won all three previous encounters with the Canadiens this season.
Skinner scored four goals in the most recent meeting on February 13 to pace the visitors to a 5-3 victory at the Bell Centre.
