The Sabres evened their series with the Canadiens, winning 3-2 at Montreal's Bell Centre in Game 4, and Tage Thompson's lucky-bounce goal went a long way toward the result:
That tied it and Zach Benson scored the power-play game-winner ... on his 21st birthday:
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen rewarded head coach Lindy Ruff's decision to start him, making 28 saves, many elite. He'll get the net in Game 5, which will be in Buffalo on Thursday.
My take: This game was wild. There was a Sabres goal that was awarded on review, only to have the Habs challenge the goal call on goaltender interference and have the goal overturned. Exciting hockey.
