Skinner’s four points, Levi’s 32 saves lead Sabres over Canadiens 6-1
MONTREAL — Jeff Skinner had one goal and three assists, Devon Levi made 32 saves and the Buffalo Sabres defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-1 on Thursday night.
Levi, a 22-year-old rookie from nearby Dollard-des-Ormeaux, Que., was playing his first game at Bell Centre after growing up watching the Canadiens and idolizing Carey Price.
Tage Thompson had two goals and an assist, while Casey Mittelstadt and Jack Quinn produced one goal and one helper each for Buffalo (16-19-4). Rasmus Dahlin added an empty-netter and Alex Tuch pitched in with two assists.
The Sabres snapped a three-game road losing skid with the win.
