On the ice of the Carolina Hurricanes they triumphed convincingly 6:2 and took a 1:0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

A significant contribution to the win came from Slovak forward Juraj Slafkovský, who scored two goals and added one assist. For his performance he was named the first star of the game. Slafkovský thus successfully handled the pressure in an important match, silencing the critics who had criticized him in the previous series for insufficient productivity. With his exceptional goals he looked dominant on home ice. hnonline.sk ↗ teraz.sk ↗
Montreal goaltender Jakub Dobeš contributed 25 saves, which were enough to secure a clean series lead. The Canadiens thus entered the final series in the best possible shape, despite entering it after two brutal seven-game series. Game two of the final will be played in the night to Sunday, with Montreal seeking to increase their lead to 2:0 in games. ta3.com ↗ idnes.cz ↗
