Montreal vs Winnipeg: sixth victory of the Canadiens?

Montrealwere almost knocked out of the Stanley Cup at the first stage. The team got Toronto as the first opponent, and after winning the first game, the Canadiens suffered three defeats in a row. But the team did not give up and with great difficulty earned their victory against one of the main favorites of the tournament.

The Canadiens continued their winning streak in the quarterfinals, defeating Winnipeg twice (5:3 and 1:0). Goaltender Price deserves high praise for stopping 57 shots out of 60. Few people expected such results from Montreal, but now the team has every chance of making it to the semifinals.

Winnipeg faced an equal opponent in the Round of 16. The Jets were a bit stronger than Edmonton, and their win was definitely not an easy one: the series finished with a score of 4:0, but the last three games ended in overtime, where the Jets had just a slight advantage.

In the quarterfinals, the Jets' winning streak was interrupted by Montreal (3:5). Their defeat can be mostly blamed on the poor defensive play in the first period. In the return match, Winnipeg failed to beat the Canadiens again (0:1).
