The Montreal Canadian occupies the cellar in the general ranking of the National Hockey League (NHL) and already seems a thousand miles from participation in the next series, but to hope to find himself “in the mixed”, he will have to start by slowing down his losing streak.
It is therefore on the Buffalo Sabers ice rink that he will try on Monday to end his drought of six games without a victory. The score is 0 to 0 in the first period.

There are few in the club’s entourage who want to remember the last match, a clear 4-1 loss suffered on Saturday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Looking for solutions to shake off the misfortune of its people, St-Louis broke the Cole Caufield-Nick Suzuki duo. Thus, Jake Evans will pivot a trio completed by Alex Newhook and Caufield. As for Suzuki, he will play alongside Kirby Dach and Juraj Slafkovsky, two other players with a lot to make up for.
Cayden Primeau will have the mandate to defend the net against rivals who are doing relatively well. Indeed, the Sabers may have a .500 record, but they have won their three most recent duels, humiliating the New York Rangers 6 to 1 on Thursday.
After this clash, the CH will end its sequence of games abroad by visiting the Minnesota Wild on Thursday. He has 10 points this season, one less than the Nashville Predators, 31st ranked in the NHL.
