Suzuki, who had gone four straight games without a point, scored off the rush from the right circle to tie it 3-3 at 19:13, then scored again just 22 seconds later when he took a pass from Slafkovsky in the right circle and beat Luukkonen far side at 19:35 to give the Canadiens a 4-3 lead.

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