The Buffalo Sabres beat the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 in Game 1 of the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. The win came Wednesday night at KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, giving Buffalo a 1-0 series lead. Buffalo returned from an extended layoff and delivered a strong home performance to seize early control of the matchup. Montreal now faces pressure to win Game 2 to avoid falling further behind in the best-of-seven series.

The Sabres doubled their lead in the second and lead 4-2 as the Canadiens struggle to adapt to a much faster opponent than Tampa. It's Game 1 of the series; they have time. In the meantime, Dach gave Montreal some hope by getting a goal late in the 2nd. #GoHabsGo
