Buffalo Sabres grabbed a 1-0 series lead over the Montreal Canadiens in Eastern Conference second-round Stanley Cup playoffs with a 4-2 Game 1 win at KeyBank Center, fueled by power-play tallies from Bowen Byram and Ryan McLeod amid renewed Atlantic Division rivalry. Sabres held steady lines from their first-round clincher against Boston, starting Alex Lyon in net despite missing forwards Noah Ostlund and Sam Carrick to injuries. Canadiens' Noah Dobson returns feeling stronger post-injury from prior series, but must shore up defense after conceding on special teams. Home-ice edge favors Buffalo for Game 2 on May 8 before shifting to Montreal, with both teams' strong regular-season finishes (Sabres 50-23-9 atop Atlantic, Habs 48-24-10) underscoring a tightly contested matchup.
