Buffalo Sabres captain Jack Eichel hit the 30-goal plateau for the first time in his career Thursday night in the team's 3-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens at KeyBank Center.
Carter Hutton made 27 saves for Buffalo. He started in place of Linus Ullmark, who will miss the next three-to-four weeks with a lower-body injury. It was Hutton's third start since Dec. 19.
