BUFFALO — Canadiens defenceman Ben Chiarot said there’s a lesson to be learned from the team’s 5-4 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres Wednesday. The Sabres scored two goals on five power-play opportunities and, while coach Claude Julien tipped his hat to the Buffalo power play, he wondered aloud about why the Sabres had that many opportunities. “Having said that, we have to look at ourselves because we never cleared the puck when we had the opportunity,” Julien added. “We have to be better on a the penalty kill because eventually it catches up to you. “Four out of six points is a good start and when you look at the teams we played, Buffalo is off to a good start and so are Toronto and Carolina,” Julien said.
