Game 5 of a tied series is sure to swing the momentum and atmosphere of a tough, seven-game brawl. For the Montreal Canadiens, they made the most of that opportunity and now have a chance to win Game 6 and head to the Conference Finals.

For the Canadiens, the key to that victory was an offensive explosion. Their 6 goals in Game 5 were tied for the most they’ve scored in any playoff game this season. The Canadiens also had six different players score in this contest.

The key factor for the Sabres is holding this Canadiens’ offense at bay. The Sabres have held the Canadiens to an average of three goals across their two victories, but have allowed a total of 17 goals in their three losses.

After finishing No. 10 in goals allowed per game in the regular season, the Sabres will need to find that form once again should they hope to move to the Conference Finals.

The Canadiens last went to the Conference Finals in 2014. A win tonight would secure their first trip back in 12 years.

Here’s what you need to know about Saturday’s matchup between the Canadiens and Sabres, including broadcast information and start time.
