Canadiens Ride Steady Goaltending, Expose Buffalo in Game 5

Montreal gets the kind of night every playoff team wants from its crease, and Buffalo gets the kind of goaltending performance nobody wants to replay on video. In a series this tight, the team that settles the net usually controls the room, and the Canadiens found that stability when it mattered most. The Sabres had chances to tilt the game back their way, but the margin keeps shrinking in the playoffs, and that leaves one club heading home with all the leverage.
