Collapse leaves Canadiens in foul mood ahead of visit to Buffalo

The Montreal Canadiens have earned at least a point in five of their past six games heading into a Thursday road matchup against the Buffalo Sabres, but they will need to shake off a tough ending to their most recent performance.

The Canadiens took a 2-0 lead into the second intermission on Tuesday at Washington. The Capitals' Ethen Frank scored twice in the third period, the second time with 1:54 left to tie the game, and Connor McMichael scored with 39 seconds left in overtime to give the hosts a 3-2 win.
