Great news awaited Montreal Canadiens fans this morning after a key win reshaped the Atlantic Division standings.<\/p>\n

Winning this game at the right moment completely changes the dynamic for Martin St-Louis\u2019 group.<\/p>\n

With this victory, the Canadiens have officially reclaimed second place in the Atlantic Division, ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning.<\/p>\n

Priyanta Emrith also shared this positive update on her page.<\/p>\n

“The Canadiens move back into 2nd place in the Atlantic Division with a 4-1 win vs. the Isles.”<\/p>\n

Regaining home-ice advantage for the first round is excellent news for the Canadiens and, of course, for the fans.<\/p>\n

The Canadiens move ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the Atlantic Division standings<\/p>\n

Starting the playoffs at the Bell Centre always provides an unmatched level of energy for the players.<\/p>\n

Playing the first game in a hostile arena always makes things more difficult, so this shift in momentum comes at the perfect time.<\/p>\n

The Lightning have not said their last word, but control is now back in the Canadiens\u2019 hands!<\/p>\n

Only one game remains on the regular season schedule to secure this crucial position.<\/p>\n

Montreal will play its final regular season game Tuesday in Philadelphia against the Flyers.<\/p>\n

This will require one final sustained effort from the entire roster.<\/p>\n

Captain Nick Suzuki will need to ensure his teammates stay focused to avoid any letdown.<\/p>\n
