'A big point for our group': Canadiens inch closer to playoffs with OT loss to Leafs

Joshua Clipperton The Canadian Press

Despite a tough 1-0 overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis found positives in the game, highlighting his team's effort as they strive for a playoff spot. The Canadiens now sit at 88 points, five points clear of the Columbus Blue Jackets, who still have three games left. With only two games remaining for Montreal, a single Columbus loss would secure their playoff berth.

The Canadiens, who were outshot 35-15, managed to send 57 shots towards the Maple Leafs' goalie, Anthony Stolarz. Captain Nick Suzuki expressed pride in the team's unexpected playoff pursuit following a rebuild season. NHL rookie Kaiden Guhle noted the importance of experience gained from playing meaningful games, indicating significant development for younger players.
