Habs upset Lightning in Game 7

The Montreal Canadiens have pulled off a major postseason upset, defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 in a decisive Game 7.

Alex Newhook scored the winning goal with less than nine minutes remaining in the third period, securing Montreal's place in the second round.

The victory marks a disappointing end for the Lightning, who have now suffered four consecutive first-round exits despite high expectations.

The Canadiens remain the only Canadian team left in the Stanley Cup playoffs as they prepare for their next series against the Buffalo Sabres.
