MONTREAL — Jochen Hecht scored on Buffalo’s 10th shootout attempt to give the Sabres a 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night.

Rookie goalie Jhonas Enroth, called up from the Portland Pirates, stopped seven of Montreal’s final eight shooters in the tiebreaker. He made 32 saves during the game, his first with the Sabres since Nov. 24, when he had 28 saves in a 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

Ryan Miller’s streak of 31 straight starts in goal for Buffalo ended. He was rested and did not dress.

Jason Pominville tied it at 2 for Buffalo with his 13th goal 6:08 into the third. The Sabres won the shootout, 4-3.

Drew Stafford got his ninth goal in five games late in the second to bring the Sabres within 2-1. His power-play effort snapped Carey Price’s shutout streak at 102 minutes, 54 seconds.

Enroth, recalled from Portland earlier in the day, got the nod over veteran backup Patrick Lalime, who has been limited to two relief appearances since his last start on Nov. 20.

Max Pacioretty scored a power-play goal in the first and Benoit Pouliot put Montreal up 2-0 with his 13th goal 6:28 into the second.

Price, who recorded his sixth shutout of the season in a 3-0 win over Toronto on Saturday, made 30 saves. Before Stafford scored, he had not allowed a goal since he was beaten a career-high eight times in a wild, fight-filled 8-6 loss in Boston on Wednesday.
