Corey Perry, Artturi Lehkonen and Nick Suzuki also scored in the win, while goaltender Carey Price made 26 saves for the Canadiens, who have a 3-0 lead on the Jets in the best-of-seven series. “It’s a different kind of confidence you get in the game when you know that you can trust the guy in the net,” Armia said afterwards.
