MONTREAL -- The Sabres dropped the Montreal Canadiens, 2-0, in Bell Centre. Nathan Gerbe scored both goals, while Ryan Miller made 31 saves for his fourth shutout of the season and first since Jan. 6.
Miller: "I was able to see some pucks, and we’re blocking them and stepping into lanes to force them outside a lot. As for defensive efforts, that was one of our strongest."
Paul Gaustad: "Both goalies played great. Ours played a little bit better."
Lindy Ruff: "There was a lot of anger and frustration in us giving up a point the other night, and this was a real good answer for it."
Gerbe: "We’re trying to play smarter. We need to learn to win games 1-0. That’s what’s going to help toward the end here. We knew we needed to be smart."
