The dominant figure of the match was Slovak forward Juraj Slafkovský, who recorded three goal assists and had a hand in half of his team's goals. Slafkovský thus experienced his second three-point evening in the play-offs after his hat-trick in the first game of the first round against Tampa Bay. SITA ↗

Goaltender Jakub Dobeš contributed to the win with 33 saves. After a rough start, in which he conceded three goals from the first four shots, the Czech goalie managed to lock down the net and subsequently kept a clean sheet. The Canadian team thus gradually turned the course of the match in its favor. sport.cz - fotbal ↗

The team has repeatedly shown that it always responds to a loss with a win. The next game of the series will take place in Montreal, where the Canadiens can end the series and advance among the four best teams in the Eastern Conference. SITA ↗
