Canadiens Visit the Lightning in Game 7 of the First Round
Gage Goncalves scored in overtime and Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves as Tampa Bay kept its season alive.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning and Montreal Canadiens will decide their first-round series in a winner-take-all Game 7 on Sunday in Tampa, Florida, with the victor advancing to face the Buffalo Sabres in the NHL Playoffs.
- Tampa staved off elimination Friday with a 1-0 overtime victory at the Bell Centre, forcing the deciding game after the Canadiens previously won twice in Tampa during this see-saw series.
- Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves in a spectacular goaltending duel against Jakub Dobes, while coach Jon Cooper noted the series remains evenly matched, "from the special teams to the goaltending to the everything."
- Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis framed the high-stakes matchup as an opportunity for his young team, saying "It's meant to be, it's destiny for our young team," while Cooper cautioned the squad "haven't won anything yet."
- Lightning forward Brandon Hagel described the series as unreal, noting both teams entered with 106 points, and the decisive final game will likely come down to which side secures one extra break.
