The Montreal Canadiens are peaking at the right time with the playoffs just around the corner and look to extend their winning streak to six games when they visit the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night. The Canadiens allowed six goals during their winning streak after knocking off Florida 4-1 on Monday night with Charlie Lindgren in net to give All-Star Carey Price a rest.

The Washington Capitals attempt to clinch their second consecutive Presidents' Trophy and the third in franchise history when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival New York Rangers on Wednesday. Washington moved a step closer to securing home ice throughout the playoffs Tuesday, when it concluded a 4-1-0 road trip with a 4-1 triumph at Toronto.
