Robin Lehner OUT

Robin Lehner will be back in goal for Buffalo

Buffalo Sabres netminder Robin Lehner draws the start in Thursday's road game at the Montreal Canadiens.

What It Means:

Lehner was pulled after allowing three goals on 14 shots in the Sabres' loss to the New York Rangers on Tuesday, and he voiced his displeasure about it. He'll have a chance to make a bigger statement tonight. Lehner has performed well on the road this season, going 3-4-2 with a 1.88 goals against average and .943 save percentage in nine starts away from home.

Lehner is our fifth-ranked goalie for Thursday's six-game slate. We project him to allow 2.60 goals on 31.59 shots with a 44 percent chance of registering the win.
