Montreal Canadiens Summary

The Montreal Canadiens are experiencing mixed results as they head into a crucial matchup against the Buffalo Sabres. They have managed to earn at least a point in five of their last six games, showcasing some resilience despite a recent collapse that has left the team in a foul mood.

On the transaction front, forward Alexandre Texier has signed a two-year contract extension worth $5 million, reflecting the Canadiens' confidence in his contributions, as he has accumulated 16 points in 25 games since joining the team.

However, the Canadiens are struggling with their two-man advantage situations, having spent more time than any other team playing five-on-three without much success, which has been highlighted as a significant area for improvement as they seek to learn how to secure wins in close games.
