The Buffalo Sabres have evened the score and are heading home with momentum on their side. After a thrilling 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens in Game 4, the series is now tied 2-2, and all eyes are on Thursday night's pivotal matchup at KeyBank Center.
Zach Benson stole the spotlight in Game 4, netting the go-ahead goal on a third-period power play—and doing it all on his 21st birthday. That win didn't just even the series; it gave the Sabres back home-ice advantage when they need it most. Now, they'll look to carry that energy into Game 5, where a raucous Buffalo crowd will be ready to push them within one win of the next round.
