CANADIENS (27-32-10) at SABRES (32-29-8)
TV: RDS (HD), TSN, MSG-B
Last 10: Montréal 3-7-0; Buffalo 7-2-1.
Season Series: This is the fourth of six meetings between the Northeast Division rivals. Buffalo is 3-0-1 against the Canadiens this season.
Big Story: Andrei Markov is back.
Montréal's top defenseman made a surprise return to the lineup Saturday night, leading the Canadiens to an impressive 4-1 win at Vancouver. It was the first appearance in nearly 16 months for Markov, who has been hampered by knee injuries.
"It was awesome, we just beat one of the strongest teams in the League," Markov said after finishing with 17:09 of ice time. "I felt good. The first few shifts, I had to adjust to the speed, but after that I felt good. It's going to take some time. I need a little bit more time to realize the speed of the game and to read the game."
