Newhook Scores Twice as Canadiens Roll in Buffalo to Even Series · May 8, 2026
Montreal dominated Game 2 from the opening shift, striking 96 seconds in and building a 3-0 first-period lead that Buffalo never threatened. Alex Newhook led the way with two goals, providing the secondary scoring the Habs had been missing, while Mike Matheson, Alexandre Carrier, and Nick Suzuki also found the net. Jakub Dobes was sharp with 27 saves, Zach Benson's late second-period redirect the lone blemish on a commanding road performance. The series heads to Montreal tied 1-1 for Game 3 on Sunday.
