WATCH Canadiens vs. Sabres Live Stream Online, NHL 2014: Listen To Free Hockey Game Coverage From Buffalo, Power Ranking

It's finally that time of year - hockey season!

The Montreal Canadiens battle it out on the ice against the Buffalo Sabres in Week 4 of the regular season on Wednesday, November 5 at 7:30 p.m. EST at the First Niagara Center in New York. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Wednesday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Following the first few opening weeks of the 2014 regular season, the Canadiens snag the No. 9 spot in Pierre LeBrun's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com with a 8-4-1 winning record:

"The Canadiens host the Blackhawks on Tuesday at a time when the Habs aren't playing very well defensively. Montreal has been outshot 104-64 in its last three games, and only a Carey Price masterpiece Sunday in Calgary prevented all of them from being losses. Montreal is giving up on average a half a goal more than it is scoring, a trend that will undo its strong start if not rectified shortly."

Meanwhile, the Sabres currently hold the meager No. 30 spot (out of 30 total teams) with a 3-9-1 record. As LeBrun points out:

"They probably deserve a better ranking after beating the Red Wings on Sunday, but the fact is, they are the worst team in the league."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels MSGB, RSN, and RDS, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 98,5 FM, TSN 690, WGR 550, and WCMF.
