Regaining home-ice advantage for the first round is excellent news for the Canadiens and, of course, for the fans.
The Canadiens move ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Atlantic Division standings
Starting the playoffs at the Bell Centre always provides an unmatched level of energy for the players.
Playing the first game in a hostile arena always makes things more difficult, so this shift in momentum comes at the perfect time.
The Lightning have not said their last word, but control is now back in the Canadiens’ hands!
Only one game remains on the regular season schedule to secure this crucial position.
Montreal will play its final regular season game Tuesday in Philadelphia against the Flyers.
This will require one final sustained effort from the entire roster.
Captain Nick Suzuki will need to ensure his teammates stay focused to avoid any letdown.
