Jake Allen Helps Canadiens Secure 3-1 Victory Over Sabres

Allen's impressive save count helps Canadiens to second consecutive win despite Sabres' domination in the flow of game and high shot count.

Montreal Canadiens' goalie Jake Allen made 36 saves, leading his team to a 3-1 victory against the Buffalo Sabres.
Despite being outshot 37-27 by the Sabres, the Canadiens managed to secure a win, with Brendan Gallagher, Justin Barron and Tanner Pearson each scoring for the Montreal side.
One of the notable saves by Allen was a penalty shot block, assisting the Canadiens in killing four of the five power-play chances of the Sabres.
Jeff Skinner, who has been a prolific scorer against the Canadiens since joining the Sabres in 2018, netted the only goal for Buffalo.
Sabres, despite dominating the game and creating multiple chances, couldn't capitalize on the scoreboard, which Sabres' coach Don Granato attributed to failure in converting the floods of opportunities.
