On Saturday night, the coach decided it was time to give Zach Bolduc a shot in the top unit, and it paid off right away. In the Canadiens\u2019 first man-advantage of the night, Juraj Slafkovsky gave the puck to Nick Suzuki, who took a shot from just above the circle, and Bolduc tipped it past Luukkonen. Funny that he scored it with a tip, Kreider\u2019s specialty, but it was his fourth goal of the season (plus two in the shootout).
