Ryan Miller made 27 saves for Buffalo, which won its second straight road game following a 12-game losing streak away from home. Its the first time the Sabres have won two straight games since November 11th, however it comes at a price. Forward Thomas Vanek suffered an upper body injury in the first period. Sabres head coach Lindy Ruff said after the game that the Sabres top forward is expected to miss at least a week.
Gaustad set up Ville Leino's fourth goal 4:01 into the second period to tie it at 1. Gaustad beat Carey Price from the goalmouth to give the Sabres the lead 6:17 into the third and assisted as Patrick Kaleta scored into an empty net with 51.1 seconds remaining.
Max Pacioretty scored his 18th goal for Montreal, which went into the All-Star break on a 2-0-1 run, capped by a 7-2 win last Wednesday over NHL-leading Detroit.
Price stopped 37 shots.
