Canadian Championship playoff location as Hutson tie auxiliary record – Hockey writer – Montreal Canadian
You would have thought the Montreal Canadians fans had learned so far until the end. However, with almost perfect tips, they started singing “Ole” with 13 minutes left in the third phase, the visiting Carolina Hurricanes cut their two-goal lead in half to boost Habs' playoff aspirations again.
Four games ago, Habs scored 8 points on the court and only needed three points to win the championship. That could have done if all the other teams competed for the same second universal card position, each losing three after three, but the annoying Columbus blue jacket decided to remain unbeaten in the same time frame, making the Canadians' vulnerable group shorter and shorter on their shoulders before falling to the 82 season game against the Hurricanes, against the Hurricanes.
Game review
You probably already know, according to the title (and any related media related to Canadains tonight). Habs did what seemed impossible before late February, when they started with an unlikely 15-5-6 to end Wednesday's season.
Yes, the Canadiens have a seat and will face the most important Washington capital in the first round. But how exactly did they deal with the hurricane? In short, start a lot of rest as visitors decide to take a break from many veterans before the playoffs.

Anyway, the Canadiens finished it, starting with a few minutes of kickoff, when Kaiden Guhle outstripped Hurricane starter Pyotr Kochetkov, who lost 17 times. However, Guhle Giveth and Guhle took it out and Taylor Hall even quickly pulled the cane off the Habs' defensive player by pulling it apart.
In less than four minutes of Nick Suzuki's second phase, Guhle redeems himself. Guhle potted his second game with just one minute left in the frame, the whole season when the Canadian defensive player scored twice in one game. More notably, Cole Caufield and Lane Hutson provided assists for the target. It was Hutson's 60th season, even with Larry Murphy, who set a record with the Los Angeles Kings in 1980-81, the most rookie defenseman.
Tyson Jost scored the cited goal at the top of the work, putting a loose puck in the crease, passing the Canadian starter Sam Montembeault, who made 27 saves. What followed was the tense moment before Jake Evans won the Canadians with an empty net goal. So Habs ended their (regular) season with a record of 40-31-11 and 91 points, exactly the same as last year’s capital, when they were trapped in the playoffs.
47-29-5 The Hurricane ended on Thursday's regular season against host Ottawa Senators. Meanwhile, the inspiring blue jacket will fall. They will need tomorrow’s ending (and tonight’s Canadians lose the game in the regulations) against the New York Islanders to pass through the finale. But Habs had a relaxing break before Game 1 at least, which is much more than many skeptics think (until a few days ago, they blew up a two-goal lead against the Chicago Blackhawks; not tonight).
