Morgan Tencza-Imagn Images The Montreal Canadiens faced the Tampa Bay Lightning in a do-or-die Game 7 on Sunday night. Prior to puck drop, it was announced Noah Dobson would return to the lineup and participate in his first game of the playoffs, giving the Habs a considerable boost on the blue line. Defenceman Arber Xhekaj was made a healthy scratch to allow for Dobson’s presence in the lineup.
It wasn’t the prettiest game, but the Habs found a way to emerge with a 2-1 win, securing a 4-3 series victory in the process. Let’s dive into the highlights! O Captain, My Captain!
Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki picked the perfect time to score his first goal of the series, by tipping a point shot late in the third period. Okay, if we’re being honest, the perfect time would have been earlier, but you can’t look a gift horse in the mouth in an elimination game. It should be noted it was also the first time one of Suzuki, Cole Caufield , or Juraj Slafkovsky scored a goal at 5v5 versus the Lightning.
