Changing Montreal with the front of the net and Levi called upon to make a save early as Gallagher goes to the front of the Buffalo net and buffalo will find entry on the left side of the ice this time and a shot up the posted right back

Out it’ll come all the way back down into the Buffalo end PKA out with Quinn and Dylan cousins now for the savers on the defensive side as gager carries it in SS it to that two chances by UL in front and Levi is able to make the Stop and here comes the

Crowd and was hammering at the puck this watch this Tred doing that Dan no chance and it’s laying right there but he’s able to keep that right skate tight right to that post until he’s able to find the puck and get it covered and then you watch everybody Converge on it

And clean everything out and get them all away well the Benson line out against Gallagher Evans and Ulen who have been a bit of a headache here in the first period there’s your shot off the bar from well out is Yoki Haru stepped into one I would say keep shooting gentlemen

Well Henry told us to keep an eye on number 10 denight didn’t he as he plays that one down into the corner and Rasmus dolene and the far Corner sends it back around the near side into the slot nice bump pass by Benson he gets it back

Again and a pat save by Allen but they can’t clear and buffalo reset at Center doing to the line and in for Tes Thompson Off the Wall nice move Thompson with a shot and Anderson’s going to squeeze that one and hold on but holds it from the top of the circle down to

The goal line gets a return pass looks out front nobody there in the slot there’s a chance Froman a hand stop by Levi flipped out to Center ice in the bouncing Puck Rasmus dolene will just named Sabers Allstar with slab kovsky trying to strip them

With a pux Suzuki trying to go far post but that pass across blocked by Levi well there’s no doubt for a pace of game PKA and Quinn are the two that can certainly along with others but really dial it up here against this Montreal team bad opportunity to throw the puck

In the net get it there Harris with a blast to the line that went wide sco carries it down to the corner leaves it now armia up top with a shot scores U Arma from the high slot Let It Go and it found a way past de Levi high here

There’s the missed shot P’s going to be rotated down low a little bit here just low to high and he just steps in get about 8 ft inside the Blue Line there and just takes the rer he gets to the middle gets that shoot shooting Lane and you see Levi was

Over on the opposite side of the player in front trying to see where the puck is going to come from and the puck goes to the opposite side let’s just watch is it petted in front right there Y and he makes contact and then the shot comes after the coach’s challenge there

Was goal tender interference no goal we remain scoreless with 1754 to go here in the second period as Tage Thompson now top of the circle tries to work inside for shooting Lane couldn’t quite get there spins a pass to the far wall and delene is halfway down

The right side to the goal line Skinner in front scores Casey midd with a one timer on the feet from Jeff Skinner and the Sabers get a power play goal to take a one- nothing lead with 1427 to go in the second period take a look at it here

Everybody gets involved it stays on the top side Thompson does a nice job just moving this Puck around doing gets it on the wall and that gets a open up thing and Jeff Skinner gets his puck right at the goal line but he just hesitates he

Takes a look and he tries to see what Montreal is going to do the big thing is that D on his side had his stick taken the pass away to the middle of the ice and it left It Wide Open high slot top of the far Circle Skinner plays it to

The goal line Sabers try to walk it in with middle set and a couple of locks at it but that is cleared yeah good move there Casey realized nobody was attacking taking him out of the play so they left a Lane right there take it to

Front of the n and see what happens Casey realized get to that area of the ice talk about taking risk that’s kind of a risk you take here’s middle stat in across the Montreal line drop for Alex tuck rash do up top quarterbacking the power play Tage Thompson top of the near

Circle shot his blocked Savar got in the way of that one but Alex tuck got the puck back to Thompson again working the left wall tuck slides it across fir side scores what a shot Jeff Skinner parked over that far side of the ice made no mistake at all

With this the Sabers power play going two for two here in this period they lead it two nothing the same as the last goal by middle stat is Alex tuck just working it along the wall here once he gets he steps out and he just fires it straight across and

He threw it across hard enough that the D had a hard time reacting in time to get his stick over there I think that was Evans and Jeff Skinner just holds on to it and boom just long enough he gets a stick he sets it up and then Puck

Slides down and cut off by the Sabers actually in the neutral zone here’s Benson in the slot trying to get it to the net and the rebound Allen comes out to make a big stop there back into the Montreal Zone and then it’s tipped away from Skinner and armia gets it back out

And into the Sabers end of the ice armia strips doen over the far Circle holds it [Applause] fires short-handed goal for Aria who had a goal taken away earlier tonight and Montreal’s on the board trailing two to one yeah Aria will have his fifth goal here now and it’s going to be a

Short-handed goal as he strips Dalene and then he just steps in the middle and kind of uses Dalene as it screams and he turns and fires that one right to the net I don’t know if the penalty was over at the last seconder pizetta is going out of the box to Center Gallagher

Trying to cut to the middle he SWAT sat out of the air and out of the corner Evans sends it in front by slot shot save made by Levi on Anderson with one point9 seconds to go in the period That’s gentlemen yeah three young men picking two very good cities to be young

In that’s ining experience yeah they packed their Parker for today here which you may have needed 1527 to go in the third period 2-1 Buffalo Ulen and sets it to the front of the N Levi not sure where it is it’s still free and that puck goes to

The corners and that is knocked off behind Levi Puck goes to the corner cousins try to get onto it for the Sabers it comes around to the near side and played up ahead to the Blue Line Quinn touch back for petka back to Quint across the Mont all line with a shot

Scores what a shot by 22 and the sabes get the two goal lead back again it is 3 to1 Buffalo with 134 to go in the third he gets to that slot area and that’s where he’s going to let the release go here he starts it up

Coming out of the zone and nice Quick Pass back by petka and then he gets in the middle of the ice he gets that shot Lane so when he’s taken it he’s directly on the net you mat goes down tries to block that one but he uses him with a

Little bit of a screen and the far side right in the corner stroble trying to stay with him tuck leans on him still has it far corner back to the point Clifton for power power shot hit Alex tuck but tuck will stay with it in the

Corner sends it behind the net nice walk out and the backand scores Jeff Skinner and Tage Thompson both combined to get it to the front of the net I think Tage gets a last touch I’m not sure they’re talking about it but the Sabers extend

The lead to four to one just watch this good work down low here’s Alex tuck just throwing this back down and Jeff Skinner taking it to the front of the net and he just just on the back hand takes to the front of the net and then

Just lays there and you see Tage coming in he just redirects it gets it inside the far post but just an excellent job by Jeff Skinner just realizing he had the time and space take it to the front of the net Canadians 79 and two on home mes this

Year in a hole here in front all alone Levi hit the mass that shot did as Anderson was one-on-one again with Deon Levi game here tonight at the Bell Center santra Bell if you will to them of course that is empty for Montreal and the Pucks in the back of that one last

CH doen fired it down the ice with 529 to go in the third the Sabers up 5 to one take a look at it Montreal actually won the draw and it goes off the feet of Sanderson it goes back into the Sab corner and Do’s first guy on it comes up

With the puck and plays it behind the net now Quinn takes it away from ghouly sprays a pass to the left wing it’s a two-on one Thompson takes the pass score Tage Thompson from Jeff Skinner again here tonight and he did not miss that shot to

Get Buffalo up six to1 with 128 to go in the third period yeah it’s good to see these guys connecting there it is he fires it up to Skinner and then they’re just two onone and these two guys know each other so well and Skinner beautiful soft pass and

The Buffalo Sabers come into Montreal and say happy New Year with Devon Levi picking up a win in his first start in his hometown as he’s met by Jordan Greenway and the rest of his teammates 61 your final Score
