The Montreal Canadiens are just 1 point ahead of the Columbus Blue Jackets for the final spot in the Wild Card race so losing is not an option. The Habs are surging at the right time, winners of their last two, and will host a struggling Buffalo Sabres team tonight at Bell Centre. Buffalo is just 3-12-2 in their last 17 overall and a dismal 11-20-5 on the road. The Canadiens are 0-1-2 this year against the boys from Western New York so they are due.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTREAL CANADIENS
