Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy Montreal has taken control of this matchup with 5-1 and 6-2 wins in the last two meetings. That turns a balanced season series into a current 11-3 run, and Game 4 is back at Centre Bell. Buffalo still has a strong season profile, but the last 120 playoff minutes point to Montreal dictating the terms.
