Background

The Buffalo Sabres and Montreal Canadiens are two of the NHL's original six franchises, each carrying substantial playoff tradition. Buffalo has experienced extended stretches without postseason success in recent years, making a competitive series of this kind notable for the franchise and its fans. In a best-of-seven format, a 2-2 tie after four games leaves both clubs with an equal path to advancement. The home team winning each of the first four games - if that pattern held - would amplify the significance of neutral or road performance as the series continues.
