The Montreal Canadiens pre-season wraps up tonight against the Buffalo Sabres (3-1).

The Canadiens will look to end their pre-season on a winning note after going 3-2-1 thus far.

It will be former Sabre Jaroslav Spacek’s first game against his former team.

Spacek has played well, since joining the Canadiens defensive corps, with a goal and two assists in four pre-season games and is plus-four.

The Sabres penalty killing unit has been impressive this pre-season, having killed ten of ten on the road and fourteen of fifteen overall.
