The Montreal Canadiens scored goals barely two minutes apart on their first two shots against Sabres backup goaltender Devon Levi in the third period, and the last-place team in the Eastern Conference halted Buffalo’s win streak with a 7-5 victory Monday in front of a split crowd at KeyBank Center.

Buffalo Sabres leading scorer Tage Thompson left Monday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return.

Not only did the Sabres lose to the Canadiens, but they also lost top-scoring forward Tage Thompson to injury.

Cole Caufield scored twice, including the game-winner, to lead the Montreal Canadiens to a 7-5 win against the Buffalo Sabres.
