Eric Comrie will make his second straight start in goal for the Buffalo Sabres when they host the Montreal Canadiens at KeyBank Center on Monday.
Comrie made 24 saves and carried a shutout late into the third period of the Sabres’ 3-1 win over the New York Islanders on Saturday, his season debut. Devon Levi had started the first four games of the season but is currently nursing a lower-body injury.
“[Comrie] was real good Saturday and earned it today, really,” Sabres coach Don Granato said. “... He should be very confident going in with the work he put in.”
Tickets for tonight are available here.
Coverage on MSG begins at 6:30 p.m. with faceoff scheduled for 7 on MSG and WGR 550. The game will be broadcast on NHL Network outside of the Buffalo market.
