MONTREAL - The Buffalo Sabres have made four goalie swaps this series, including mid-game switches in their last two playoff games, yet they remain in position to win the second-round series against the Montreal Canadiens.
After falling behind 3-1 early in Saturday's Game 6, the Sabres stormed back to win 8-3 at the Bell Centre. They now head to KeyBank Center for a winner-take-all Game 7 on Monday night.
Goaltender Ukka-Pekka Luukkonen stopped all 18 shots he faced in relief of starter Alex Lyon, who allowed three goals on four shots in the opening 10:14. Head coach Lindy Ruff said, "It just felt Al wasn't seeing it."
The Sabres host Game 7 with a chance to advance to the Eastern Conference final against the rested Carolina Hurricanes.
