Montreal’s 7-2 postseason road mark includes five first-period leads and two Game 7 wins as it tries to seize control of the series.
- On Thursday, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 6-2 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Final, scoring four times in the opening period to seize control.
- Montreal enters Saturday's Game 2 with a 7-2 road record in the postseason, a success Josh Anderson credited to playing to their identity and staying well-organized.
- Center Phillip Danault anchored the win with the go-ahead goal, four blocked shots, and three hits, while goaltender Jakub Dobes made 25 saves behind 30 team blocks.
- Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall called the loss "self-inflicted," while coach Rod Brind lamented the team failed to execute their style, allowing 12 high-danger scoring chances.
