• This season, Girgenson has played in 17 games, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
• The “Sabres” started the season very optimistically and were at the top of the Eastern Conference, but the continuation was weak.
• Has suffered eight straight losses. Buffalo hasn’t won since Nov. 2 when they beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 6-3 at home. Girgenson had an assist that time.
• The Montreal Canadiens are expected to be out playoff zones. Team Canada is undergoing a rebuild.
• The teams have already met this season. On October 27, “Sabres” lost at home with 2:3.
• In 27 career games against the Canadiens, Girgensons scored 3+3.
