Juraj Slafkovsky<\/a>, Lane Hutson<\/a>, Jake Evans<\/a> and Oliver Kapanen<\/a> scored and Alex Newhook<\/a> and Nick Suzuki<\/a> each had two assists for Montreal (5-2-0), which has won five of its past six games.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Dobes] was great,\u201d Evans said. \u201cHe looks huge out there and made some huge saves. We kind of let him out to dry in the second period and he kept us in it. I\u2019m happy we got the win for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Suzuki has 10 points (one goal, nine assists) during a six-game point streak.<\/p>\n

Jiri Kulich<\/a> and Tyson Kozak<\/a> scored for Buffalo (2-4-0), which had won consecutive games. Alex Lyon<\/a> made 27 saves in his sixth straight start.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had lots of good opportunities, it wasn\u2019t about opportunities,\u201d Sabres coach Lindy Ruff said. \u201cYou know you\u2019re in a tight game and we didn\u2019t defend the rush well on the second goal, and we got caught with a couple of tired people on the third one. I liked our answer right after that to come back and score. We had another couple of good looks, but we were in a tight game and we didn\u2019t find a way to win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kapanen put Montreal up 1-0 at 8:29 of the first period. He scored on a backhand between Lyon\u2019s pads from the goalmouth after linemate Ivan Demidov was separated from the puck while driving to the net.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Juraj Slafkovsky, Lane Hutson, Jake Evans and Oliver Kapanen scored and Alex Newhook and Nick Suzuki each had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229355,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-229354","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
