Sabres Live

To survive Game 6 at the Bell Centre, the Sabres must secure high-level goaltending from a likely starter in Alex Lyon and finally find offensive production from struggling stars Tage Thompson and Alex Tuch. Buffalo will also need to tighten up defensive zone coverage and find a way to maintain momentum after taking leads to force a decisive Game 7 back home.

The Sabres' 6-3 loss was defined by a devastating second-period collapse where they surrendered three separate leads, headlined by Tage Thompson being denied on a crucial breakaway while Buffalo led 3-2—a moment Montreal coach Martin St. Louis cited as the game's turning point. With the top line held scoreless and a combined -4 rating, we analyze how Buffalo’s stars vanished in the biggest game of the year, forcing a mid-game goalie change and leaving the team one loss away from elimination
