- After the Canadiens won the opener 6-2, Hurricanes coach Rod Brind Amour insisted the team execute better and maintain relentless pressing. The Hurricanes responded by tightening their defense and winning individual battles.
- Despite being outshot 26-12, goalie Jakub Dobes made 23 saves to keep Montreal competitive. Forward Anderson scored twice, with veteran Phillip Danault anchoring the third line's efforts.
- Returning to the Bell Centre for Game 3 on Monday, Montreal hopes the home atmosphere provides the spark lacking on the road. The series remains tied heading back to Montreal.
