The Montreal Canadiens made the most of their chances in Game 7.
The Canadiens defeated the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Sunday to advance to Round 2, and they did it with just nine shots on goal.
That total set an NHL record for the fewest shots on goal in a playoff win.
At one point in the game, the Canadiens went more than 26 minutes without a shot from late in the first period to early in the third. It was the first time in the team's history that they did not have a shot in a period during a playoff game.
Despite the limited offence, the Canadiens got goals from Nick Suzuki and Alex Newhook to win a series that was as tight as it could be. All seven games were decided by just one goal, including four in overtime.
The Canadiens will now face the Buffalo Sabres in Round 2, with Game 1 set for Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+.
