It has been quite a week for the Montreal Canadiens. Last Monday, they were finishing off their improbable series comeback over the Toronto Maple Leafs. A week after the fact they had the chance to close out their second-round series with the Winnipeg Jets in just four games. The two teams played on Sunday, with the Canadiens romping to a 5-1 victory on the back of a three-point night from Joel Armia.
There was some concern about the Canadiens’ defensive lineup after Jeff Petry left Game 3 before the third period began with an injury.
